"Dear Bill:
We started by scanning Yahoo!'s Fruits and Vegetables categories. We uncovered a number of interesting web sites, but realized the answer would be more easily found with a specific search. We typed "difference between fruit and vegetable" into the Yahoo! search box and quickly discovered some relevant web pages.
Ask Dr. Dictionary, a feature of Dictionary.com, provides a succinct explanation:
A fruit is actually the sweet, ripened ovary or ovaries of a seed-bearing plant. A vegetable, in contrast, is an herbaceous plant cultivated for an edible part (seeds, roots, stems, leaves, bulbs, tubers, or nonsweet fruits). So, to be really nitpicky, a fruit could be a vegetable, but a vegetable could not be a fruit.
The Nutriquest team offers a similar answer, adding that most fruits are sweet because they contain a simple sugar called fructose, while most vegetables are less sweet because they have much less fructose. The sweetness of fruit encourages animals to eat it and thereby spread the seeds. The site also presents an interesting list of fruits that are often thought to be vegetables:
tomatoes
cucumbers
squashes and zucchini
avocados
green, red, and yellow peppers
peapods
pumpkins
But hey, what about the nut? Well, according to our friends at The Straight Dope, a nut is actually a "a dry, one-seeded, usually oily fruit."
Potato potahto, tomato tomahto, let's call the whole thing off."

A fruit is the matured ovary of a flower, containing the seed. After fertilization takes place and the embryo (plantlet) has begun to develop, the surrounding ovule becomes the fruit.
A vegetable is considered to be edible roots, tubers, stems, leaves, fruits, seeds, flower clusters, and other softer plant parts. In common usage, however, there is no exact distinction between a vegetable and a fruit. The usual example is the tomato, which is a fruit, but is eaten as a vegetable, as are cucumbers, peppers, melons, and squashes.
the spelling
there are a lot of differences... like for one, most fruits become sweet when ripe; vegetables don't.
basically, the obvious difference is that they are spelled differently. lol
Certain vegetables just fit better......hmmm? what? ohhh. never mind...

well u can get the answer by ur name itself.fruits are really juicy & sweet like u while the vegetables r not.
fruits r of 2 types- true n false fruits but vegetables r all true.
A fruit is a plant ovary/womb. The fruit of a plant contain the seeds of a plant. Vegetables are essentially everything else: seeds (peas and beans), stems (asparagus), leaves (lettuce and, spinach), flowers (broccoli and cauliflower), and roots (carrots and potatoes). Nuts are tree seeds. Peanuts are a variety of beans. Peas and beans are vegetables. Peas in the pod are fruit. String beans, the green bean pod and the beans inside, are fruit. Tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelon, and squash are fruit. Some fruit, however, does not contain real seeds. Few varieties of bananas contain seeds. Strawberries have the seeds on the outside.
