    Vegetables don’t exist. It’s a culinary word which does not exist in botany. It describes an enormous umbrella of fruits, roots, leaves, stems, flowers, and seeds.

      Fruit don’t exist. It is a botanical word describing seed bearing structures of flowering plants.

        What ? I’ve study botany and the term fruit is used extensively.

        A fruit is the heterozygotic offspring of the parent plant. A seed is the male zygote, with the female zygote being pollen. So “seed” oils are made from fruit, just like olive oil.

        A tuber (potato) or rhyzome (ginger) is a homozygotic offspring. A vegetable is a part of the plant that is not the offspring, like the leaves, stem or root.
