No, they are a fruit\n\nSeriously seeds and fruit come from a plant while vegetables are part of the living plant like the leaf, root or stem.

Vegetables contain all of these organic compounds in differing amounts.  Carbohydrates as both sugars and copious amounts of cellulose.  Proteins in the cells, but not generally as large structual components (obviously no huge protein sinks like muscles.)  Lipids as cell membranes etc....  All living things have nucleic acids, even viruses.

Some vegetables are fruits but all the fruits are not vegetables.\n*Fruit is the ripened ovary—together with seeds—of a flowering plant. In many species, the fruit incorporates the ripened ovary and surrounding tissues.\n*Vegetable is a culinary term. Its definition has no scientific value, and is somewhat arbitrary and subjective.Any part of a herbaceous plant that humans eat whole or in part is 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 (which used to be classified as plants).\n\nSo,Botanical fruits that are not vegetables are culinary fruits.

It depends on what vocabulary you are using.\n\nCulinarily speaking, a tomato is a vegetable because it is not sweet and is used in the savory portion of a meal, as opposed to fruits like apples, which are sweet and used as sweets.  For a pumpkin, it depends on where you are - some cuisines use pumpkin in the sweet course (like pumpkin pie), while others use it as a savory side dish.\n\nBotanically speaking, it is a fruit. However, "vegetable" is not a term that is used at all in botany. It doesn't refer to a specific plant structure and all botanical terms specify what part of the plant the items comes from. \n\nSo if you are going to insist that a tomato is a fruit, you should also point out that zuchinni and okra are also fruit; spinach is a leaf; rhubarb and celery are stems; carrots, radishes, and turnips are roots; broccoli and cauliflower are both flowers and stems; nuts, grains and legumes are seeds; and potatoes are specialized stems called tubers.

technically, a fruit....\n\nTo really figure out if a tomato is a fruit or vegetable, you need to know what makes a fruit a fruit, and a vegetable a vegetable. The big question to ask is, DOES IT HAVE SEEDS? \n\nIf the answer is yes, then technically, you have a FRUIT. This, of course, makes your tomato a fruit. It also makes cucumbers, squash, green beans and walnuts all fruits as well. VEGETABLES such as, radishes, celery, carrots, and lettuce do NOT have seeds (that are part of what we eat) and so they are grouped as vegetables. \n\nNow don't go looking for tomatoes next to the oranges in your grocery stores. Certain fruits like tomatoes and green beans will probably always be mostly referred to as "vegetables" in today's society.

Fruits and vegetables have several strengths.  They have a lot of roughage, which your body actually can't digest, so it goes right through your system.  This keeps everything moving and functioning like it should, and keeps you "regular."  They are also a good source of many vitamins and minerals.
