Yes.

By definition fruits in flowering plants will have seeds..
as such banana also have seeds but these are quite small and does not help in reproduction as such. try to cut a banana, you will seesmall specks/dots radiating outward from the center. these are actually the seeds of banana fruit.

wild banana has more visible seeds.

pls do refer to the wikipedia website for more details.. the second link is for image search of banana seeds.. some good pictures for our kids to see and observe banana seeds..
