Hi folks!
A few months back I obtained a Dwarf Cavendish banana plant, I love it, and it's doing very well having just produced it's largest leaf yet.

However I've recently noticed this mark (see image) and I just wanted to check with a forum what it might be.

My hunch is that it's actually soil? Trapped behind the leaf layers or somehow dragged up through growth, is this possible?
It's like a tattoo, just below the surface, not scrapable nor is it mushy or bumpy.
I've come to greatly love this plant and as this is something I'm not quite sure about I'd like a second opinion!

Thanks in advance!
