Here's what I found for you.
Question - Does a pineapple has seeds? if there are,where?
---------------------------------------
Although known for its fruit (yes, they have seeds), pineapples are usually propagated by new vegetative growth because it is difficult to germinate the seeds.
Anthony Brach Ph.D.

Flowers: At blooming time, the stem elongates and enlarges near the apex and
puts forth an inflorescence of small purple or red flowers. The flowers are
pollinated by humming-birds, and these flowers usually develop small, hard
seeds. Seeds are generally not found in commercially grown pineapple

How pineapple is propagated?

Plants are vegetatively propagated from crowns, or axillary shoots arising from either the base of the fruit (slips) or base of the plant (suckers). Unrooted shoots are placed into the soil and root in situ. The size of the planting material affects production; larger crowns/suckers give the highest yield and reduce time from planting to harvest.
