A fruit is defined, botanically, as part of a flowering plant that derives from certain specific parts of the flower (basically, the ovary).
From a culinary perspective, though, "fruit" usually means part of a plant that is both sweet and normally eaten raw.
There is considerable, but not complete, overlap between the two.
Cucumbers are fruits in the botanical sense, but not in the culinary sense.
Other examples of things that are technically fruits are tomatoes and corn, though in cuisine these are usually considered vegetables.
It gets even weirder than that: botanically speaking, tomatoes are, in fact, "berries" - all berries are fruits, but not all fruits are berries, and many things called berries technically aren't - neither strawberries nor blackberries are true berries (strawberries are accessory fruits, and blackberries are aggregate fruits).
One mistake I see is corn listed as a fruit...It is not. Corn has no fleshy covering that ALL fruits have covering the seeds for protection, and corn does not have this.
