After I read your narrative (always keen to learn something new) I Goolged too and have no clue either... But I do understand your banana photo! Well done!
This is a tough concept to illustrate but you’ve done well here... the only other thing you could have done is include the other parts of the cut banana:)
Well, your photo surely illustrates the said axiom.
An axiom, is a truth that needs not be demonstrated. Just as you said: a whole is always greater than a part. It is, so to say, a general truth. I think it is mostly used in mathematics and in philosophy.
@monikozi It's a word I've heard of but never really understood. It has certainly been a topic of conversation throughout May in anticipation of it coming up as my word of the day. 😀
That was certainly a challenge. It's something that is regarded as true but doesn't requite proof because it's accepted, long established or self-evident. My goodness.

Funny response about eating the other half :)
