Answers:
It depends on what you mean. Biologically, fruits are edible parts of a plant or tree that contains the seeds. This would include, for instance, tomatoes. But in terms of cooking and diet, fruits are sweet vegetable foods that usually grow on trees, such as apples and plums.

Other Answers:
Fruits grow on trees. Vegetables grow on small plants or vinew or in the ground.

I think fruits have seeds and vegtables don't.i'm not sure... Good answer Nelson DeVon.
But what about tomatoes? They're called fruits. ?
Cucumbers, squash, and pumpkins all contain seeds and are veggies.
Strawberries grow on the ground.
I think it's more to do with the acid content.

"Fruits are or contain seeds, they develop from the ovaries. Nuts, olives, tomatoes, peas and runner beans are all examples of fruits, as well as the obvious ones like apples, oranges and grapes. Vegetables are non-seed containing plant matter. They include leaves, such as cabbage, lettuce or watercress; roots, e.g. carrots or beetroot; bulbs, like onions, and tubers such as potatoes."
