A watermelon is a fruit, by definition. Not only is it considered a fruit by the Webster Dictionary but also among botanists and The Culinary Institute. A fruit is the structure of a plant that contains its seeds. Watermelon is a citrus fruit.

Vegetable means an edible plant or part of a plant other than a sweet fruit or seed. This typically means the leaf, stem, or root of a plant. Its important to understand that "vegetable" is a non scientific term.

The watermelon is a fruit as it has seeds protected by the ovary which develops after the fertilization of the flower. A vegetable is an edible plant or its leaves or roots which can be eaten cooked or raw.
