It is a herb, but is generally used as a fruit in pies or cobblers.

Another opinion: It's definitely a vegetable, a close relative of garden sorrel.

Rhubarb is a herbacious perennial plant. For culinary purposes it is a fruit
Rhubarb is a perennial vegetable. It belongs to the genus Rheum in the Polygonaceae family.

In 1947, a New York court ruled that is was to be counted as fruit for purposes of regulations and duties.
veg because it has no seeds and grows in the dirt

Despite the above answer, Rhubarb does have seeds and new

plants may be propagated from seed, but it is not recommended. Rhubarb may be classified as a vegetable but for culinary purposes is a fruit

Great question!! Some will say fruit others vegetable, this is the same as a tomato. It also depends on what country you live in, most North Americans think it is a fruit, as where the tomato is a veggie. It has been established by experts (LOL) that the tomato is a fruit!!
