Here are some friends with simlar question as we.And I have this question for many days,anyone help us?
Kitty said: Yes.What is the difference between a fruit and a vegetable?-I try seach this on internet but no results found.Maybe this is a stupid question.
Mike said: oh,no,you are wrong.I have found as below for this question(What is the difference between a fruit and a vegetable?),it will help you,my kids.
Answers:
This is a tough one.
Technically, a tomato is a berry. Just for further enjoyment, an apple is afluid-filled hypanthium.
The particular item you are discussing will determine the specific best termto describe it:
Generally you can safely call the product of a fertilization a "fruit". Generally fruits will germinate into plants which will again flower,offering another opportunity for fertilization. (Note that bananas we findin the store bear tiny almost-remnants of seeds which will notgerminate...in the wild, banana "fruits" have seeds (fruits, being theproducts of fertilization) which are much larger which will germinate). Ifone discusses a part of a plant which is not the direct product of afertilization nor the structure bearing it, then one could safely call theitem an herb. For example, basil leaves are vegetative structures notspecifically the result of a fertilization and are most easily described as
herbs.
I do not have an adequate definition for 'vegetable', but my feeling for itsroutine meaning is any part of a plant consumed whether a stem (celery), aleaf (lettuce), a root or tuber (radish, or potato, respectively), and insome cases the fruit of fertilization or structures bearing them (cucumbers,yes-tomatoes). Add to this such items as mushrooms (basidiocarps of fungi) and you get the idea.the term vegetable has come to mean most anything
which is not animal or mineral which we find in the 'produce' section of thesupermarket. Thus, the term vegetable has somewhat lost a botanicalusefulness in that there are more specific terms to use depending on theparticular structure being discussed.
Note that there are specific botanical definitions for berries which can befound in any good plant classification text; you can see this is essential,for example, in distinguishing between raspberries, blueberries, andtomatoes (also berries).
I hope this shed some light on the challenge of plant classification and gave some insight as to why scientific names were established to pin down aparticular organism to prevent confusion with many common names or possibly
similar terms for different organisms.

THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT FRUIT GROWS ON TREES .AND VEGETABLES GROWS IN THE GROUND. they are about in the same family.. they are both good for you.. some fruit has seeds and some do not.. also most vegetables have leaves on them...some grow under the ground and some grow on top of the ground..like carrots you pull them up and the orange part of the carrot is under the dirt...grapes come in seedless and unseedless...watermelons has vines and has the watermelon growing on the vine...i hope this helps you some..
