It's a fruit hidden in a vegetable family. Pumpkin- common name for the genus Cucurbita of the family Cucurbitaceae (gourd family), a group that includes the pumpkins and squashes. The pumpkin has been a favorite pie filling for autumn festivities ever since, and its shell is carved into the Halloween jack-o'-lantern.

Botanically it is a fruit, referring to a certain plant part which grows from a flower. However it is widely regarded as a vegetable in culinary terms, referring to how it is eaten.

Yes it is a fruit - it has seeds. But it is the squash family of vegitables because we need to label it.

Yeah, I thinks fruits all have seeds in them.

I thought it was a 'veggie' but apparently, I have been
wrong, and it is classified 'fruit' (same problem w/tomatoes.
