Musa is one of three genera in the family Musaceae; it includes bananas and plantains. There are over 50 species of Musa with a broad variety of uses. The word "banana" came via Portuguese or Spanish from a West African language (possibly Wolof) circa 1597 and has since found its way into most Western languages. The scientific name for the genus is similar to and possibly deived from the Arabic and Persian names mouz/mauz (موز) for the fruit.
Though they grow as high as trees and look like trees, banana and plantain plants are not woody and their apparent "stem" is just the bases of the huge leaf stalks. Thus, they are technically gigantic herbs.
