Did you know: The terms "vegetable" and "fruit" are not mutually exclusive. That means something can be both a fruit and a vegetable at the same time! The term "fruit" is a technical, botanical term defined as the ripened ovary of a plant and the contents of said ripened ovary. The term "vegetable" is not a strict botanical term; on the contrary, it is a colloquialism, and it's definition is not widely agreed upon, even among major dictionaries. It typically is used to describe plants and parts of plant that are savory or eaten as part of a meal, though some dictionaries define it as "any edible part of a plant". Essentially, vegetables are classified by their taste and edibility, not their biological structure. So, is a tomato a fruit? Yes! But is it a vegetable? Also yes!
