Vegetables come from non-seed producing parts.

leaves: lettuce, kale, cabbage
roots: beets, carrots, turnips, potato, radish, onion
flowers: cauliflower, broccoli, artichoke
stems: asparagus, rhubarb

fruits are from the seed bearing parts: tomato, beans, eggplant, pepper

Scientifically, a fruit has seeds - in other words, it is the product of pollination of the flowers of the plant. Vegetables are the edible parts of the plant. So, really, there is overlap of the terms.

Use of the terms are a bit different. Zucchini, tomatoes, eggplant, etc are all technically fruits, but in everyday language they are referred to as vegetables. The basic rule of thumb on how people refer to things as fruit tend to be sweetness or acid (oranges, lemons, nectarines, apples) vs. things considered more savory.

By definintion fruits have seeds in them, vegetables don't. So technically tomatoes are fruits not veggies.

one has seeds the other dont and they reproduce through pollination and this is where bees come in when ever they get pollen on them from going from plant 2 plant they spred it to other plants and thats basically the process.
