Session band inspired by White and Plant (10)
I believe the answer is:
watermelon
'plant' is the definition.
The answer is an example.
'session band inspired by white' is the wordplay.
'session' becomes 'term'.
'band' becomes 'elo' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'inspired by' indicates putting letters inside (some letters breathed in or 'inspired' by others).
'white' becomes 'wan' (very pale).
'term'+'elo'='termelo'
'termelo' placed into 'wan' is 'WATERMELON'.
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for watermelon that I've seen is " Large fruit".)
