Tomato; Fruit or Veggie? RQ

What's a Vegetable? ---
        A vegetable is an edible plant or part of a plant, but usually excludes seeds and most sweet parts. This typically means the leaf, stem, or root of a plant. {Wikipedia}


What's a Fruit?
       The sweet and fleshy product of a tree or other plant that contains seed and can be eaten as food. {Google}


What's a Tomato?
       A red, fleshy plant, with seeds in the middle. Often grown on a green leafy plant/tree. {me}


Wait!
      Cucumbers have seeds!

Conclusion; Not only is a Tomato a fruit but so is a cucumber! Thats correct, a tomato and a cucumber are  FRUIT! The reason they are often confused is because they are NOT sweet.
