Ya, donʻt try to fool yourselves, the same rules apply that you learned back in Mrs. Smiths biology class in 10th grade, plants use green (or red) pigments to produce food for themselves, if there is no color, then it cannot produce food for itself. Since we all know bananas are not parasitic either, and that normal banana plants have color, this one is no good.

I agree with bigdog, it was likely just recently separated and has not been on its own very long. If you grow a plant in less light than it needs it would actually start to become greener (to compensate for the less light, it would make more chlorophyll), to a point, and then it would either die or go dormant, but it would not expend what little energy it had left into the growth of colorless leaves.
