Pineapple, pineapple, or ananas (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.) Is a tropical plant originating from Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay. This plant belongs to the pineapple familia (Family Bromeliaceae). Low plant stature, herbs with 30 or more long, sharp-pointed leaves, arranged in a rosette form around a thick trunk. The fruit in English is called a pineapple because of its pine-like shape. The name 'pineapple' comes from the Tupi name for this fruit: anana, which means "excellent fruit". Hummingbirds are a natural pollinator of this fruit, although various insects also share the same role.
