We are talking about the small black dot that you can observe when you peel the banana from the peel. It's found at the very end of the fruit, but you've certainly never even tried to find out what it is.

Everyone knows that bananas grow on trees in bunches. Therefore, in essence, this black spot is the top of each fruit of the bunch. The seeds of the banana, if any, are found inside the pulp. However, most bananas sold in supermarkets are of the Cavendish variety, which usually does not produce seeds. In fact, the black spot in question is the flower from which the fruit actually sprouted.

Now let's get this sorted out. The short end that many people break off to open the fruit is actually the bottom of the banana, while the pointed end is the top. Since most people open bananas by breaking off the stalk, the remaining flower becomes visible. It is completely edible, so you should not be afraid to taste it.
