Is the tomato a fruit or vegetable

[bipper]

It doesn't mean that all that have seeds are fruit, you know. Squash has seeds, and it's a vegetable.
Tomato is a fruit.

Actually, if you want to get technical, squash are also fruit. A fruit is, by definition, the ovary of an angiosperm, or more simply, the part of the plant that contains the seeds.

Yes; in the scientific community, it is considered a fruit. A lot of "vegtables" are. They yeild the nutritional value of a vegtable though, and they do not produce a sweetened flavor, therefoe, they are traditionally known as vegtables. Simply put: Chefs will call them a vegie due to taste and nutrients, a scientist will call them a fruit due to their cosmic implimentations

Also, scientists won't call them vegetables because vegetable is not a scientific term.

I am fairly sure that vegtable is a scientific term in agriculture .
