What Is Diffrence Between Fruit And Vegetable ?

Answer 1

The term fruit has different meanings depending on context. In botany, a fruit is the ripened ovary—together with seeds—of a flowering plant. In many species, the fruit incorporates the ripened ovary and surrounding tissues. Fruits are the means by which flowering plants disseminate seeds.[1] In cuisine, when discussing fruit as food, the term usually refers to just those plant fruits that are sweet and fleshy, examples of which include plum, apple and orange. However, a great many common vegetables, as well as nuts and grains, are the fruit of the plant species they come from.[2]

No one terminology really fits the enormous variety that is found among plant fruits.[3] Botanical terminology for fruits is inexact and will remain so. The term false fruit (pseudocarp, accessory fruit) is sometimes applied to a fruit like the fig (a multiple-accessory fruit; see below) or to a plant structure that resembles a fruit but is not derived from a flower or flowers. Some gymnosperms, such as yew, have fleshy arils that resemble fruits and some junipers have berry-like, fleshy cones. The term "fruit" has also been inaccurately applied to the seed-containing female cones of many conifers.[4]

With most fruits pollination is a vital part of fruit culture, and the lack of knowledge of pollinators and pollenizers can contribute to poor crops or poor quality crops. In a few species, the fruit may develop in the absence of pollination/fertilization, a process known as parthenocarpy.[5] Such fruits are seedless. A plant that does not produce fruit is known as acarpous, meaning "without fruit".[6]

Vegetable is a culinary term. Its definition has no scientific value and is somewhat arbitrary and subjective.

All parts of an herbaceous plant that humans eat whole or in part is generally considered a vegetable, except for culinary fruits and arguably grains, nuts, herbs, and spices. Also, mushrooms are commonly considered vegetables, despite belonging to a different biological kingdom, namely fungi.

Vegetables include leaf vegetables (for example lettuce), stem vegetables (asparagus), root vegetables (carrot), flower vegetables (broccoli), bulbs (garlic) and botanical fruits such as cucumbers, squashes, pumpkins, capsicums, as well as legumes such as green beans, and fleshy, immature seeds such as those of peas or beans.

Since "vegetable" is not a botanical term, there is no contradiction in a plant part being a fruit botanically while still being considered a vegetable (see diagram). See Nix v. Hedden for a United States Supreme Court's ruling on the matter.

In general, vegetables are thought of as being savoury, and not sweet (with some exceptions, such as rhubarb and pumpkin).

Commercial production of vegetables is a branch of horticulture called olericulture.

Answer 2

The main difference between the fruit and a vegetable is as follows.

We generally consume fresh fruit directly ,we do not cook the fruit to eat it .There is no fruit which grows under ground.which I know off

where as in fresh vegetables we use many a additions such as masalas to make a good dish by cooking them,some vegetables grow under ground
Although they all come from plants ,trees, creepers & roots

Answer 3

A fruit is a product of the plant used to carry the seeds. Such as a Tomato or an orange. A vegetable is generally a part of the plant itself and the plant needs to be destroyed or damaged to harvest it, such as a carrot which is actually the root of the plant.

Tomatoes are fruits
Corn is a fruit (your eating the seed)
Avocado is a fruit (the pit is a seed)

Answer 4

Fruits have seeds inside the, er, fruit. Veggies have seeds too, but their seeds grow in pods or flowers. Another difference is that fruits grow on trees or vines, whereas most vegetables grow on or under the ground.

FYI:
Tomatoes are FRUIT, they grow on a vine. So are melons and pumpkins.
