Sphere has the least surface area in all the 3d bodies of the same volume. So fruits are spherical so that the can use the minimum protective outer covering to protect the fruits.
Bananas go through a unique process known as negative geotropism. Instead of continuing to grow towards the ground, they start to turn towards the sun. The fruit grows against gravity, giving the banana its familiar curved shape.
