In horticulture( a field of plant science), there are 2 basic types of vegetables namely: fruit and leaf vegetables. Fruit veggies ar those that bear fruits which we consume. e.g tomato, pepper, okra, garden egg etc. Leaf veggies are those we grow for their leaves e.g amaranthus, corchorus(ewedu), water leaf e.t.c so, tomato is a fruit vegetable. |

Crop plant s are classified into four categories namely: -classification according to economic use -classification according to number of cotyledon -classification according to mode of cultivation -classification according to life cycle the above classification is agriculture based and tomato is classified under economic use as a Vegetable. However in botany generally it is classified as a fruit because it is the end product of lead production at the completion of it life cycle and the bearing of the seeds for regeneration. You can take your pick, but the most correct view is View is that, it is a Vegetable, same as garden egg. it will interest you to know that, carrot is called a fruit but classified as Root and tuber crop plant |

From what you said vegetables cannot be used to make new plants. What of Yam, cos I know you can grow yam directly like that. |

texanomaly: According to botanists (those who study plants) a fruit is the part of the plant that develops from a flower. It's also the section of the plant that contains the seeds. The other parts of plants are considered vegetables. These include the stems, leaves and roots — and even the flower bud.So, what class does Onion fall? |

According to my profession, a fruit is eaten raw without cooking but a vegetable requires one or more processing before eating. Usually tomatoes are used as vegetable in Africa but are used as fruit in western world. In Nigeria for example, we used tomatoes to prepare soup (that makes it a vegetable) but the western world make tomato juice from it (that makes it a fruit). That's my little kobo. #FST for life |
