If the leaf counting people took the time to look at a banana plant closely they would notice that there are four main parts, the growing point, leaves, cortex, and central cylinder. The growing point is where the leaves are produced during the vegetative phase and the flower during the fruiting phase. When looking at the other three parts what stands out most is their connection with the growing point. The leaves have no direct connection and are only connected to the cortex. The cortex has a slight connection to the growing point while the central cylinder has a massive connection.

Using just that observation the central cylinder is most likely to have the dominant influence of the three on what the growing point does.
