The poor tomato suffers from a serious identity crisis. Since tomatoes are not as sweet as other fruits and tend to be served with more savoury foods, they are often referred to as vegetables. But botanically tomatoes are classified as fruits because they contain seeds of the plant. Other popular fruits include apples, pears, cucumbers, cherries, grapes, bananas, and figs.Also in French it's called "pommes d'amour" meaning love apple
But some say
"Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit
.....wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad"

Tomatoes are a fruit. They are classified a fruit, because their seeds are found on the inside. Vegetable seeds grow on the outside. An avocado is also a fruit.

A Tomato is a fruit, as it contains seeds inside it. We don't usually regard it as a fruit because of the generally sweet taste of fruits, which tomatos are lacking.

A tomato contains seeds and is a fruit. Vegetables are plants as they have stems and roots.

Tomatoes doesn't grow on trees so it is a vegetable like your brain. That should make it easier to remember.
