rhubarb is definately a vegetable introduced to this country in the 1400s or 1500s (originally used in pies). The answer to your question can be found on the back of the label of a packet of rhubarb from Tescos

Fruits & vefetables are classified by the way seed is produced, such as in apples, tomatoes, and strawberries, for fruits, or as in celery, cabbsge & lettuce for vegetables. Ther is a specific definition for fruit which is based on how the seeds are encapsulated, but it escapes my memory at present. In feneral, though, if the seeds and the pulp atound them are used, it is considered a fruit, and if the leaves, stems/stalk or root is used, it is considered a vegetable. Of course if one were talking about food groups, some fruits & vegetables are classified as starches.

It's a vegetable, a stalk. Fruits have seeds on the inside. Peppers and tomatoes are fruits. Carrots and onions are vegetables.
However, rubharb - YUM - can be used as a fruit. For pie, for example. Just like carrots for cake.

i think it's a vegetable as it has no seeds
i mean they class a tomato as a fruit for that reason so why not the other way round
just read mad's answer noted that chambers says used AS IF fruit so it must be a vegie
