Plantains, can, I believe, be tiny, but the difference between plantains and
bananas, for practical purposes, is that plantains require cooking to
release the sugars, whereas banans can be eaten raw, since the sugars are
already developed.

Raw plantains, whether green or ripe, can be pretty nasty- they're pretty
starchy, and are generally used as a starch in the cuisines that use them,
sorta like potatoes, whereas bananas, as we all know, are used as a fruit.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
cat.
