Nuts are neither vegetables nor fruits, because they are their own category. Yes, nuts are a category like fruits or vegetables or funghi (mushrooms).
And don't get confused with peanuts. The name is wrong, because peanuts are not nuts but legumes! The fact that their name includes the word "nuts" is only because in the old times (when the name was given) people wrongly believed it was a nut. Now that the name is known, you can hardly change it although it is known now peanuts are not nuts.
