Could they be cousins? I have never seen how they grow. Are they very similar? I do know that I like to eat both.

Banana is smaller is size while plantain is bigger and has more fiber. chips are made from raw plantain. For cooking purpose raw plantain is used .

They are not the same. Bananas and plantains are both fruits that come from the same family. but plantains are starchy and not very sweet, they are better fried.
