Tomato is a fruit
# An indehiscent fruit derived from a single ovary and having the whole wall fleshy, such as the grape or tomato. # A small, juicy, fleshy fruit, such as a blackberry or raspberry, regardless of its botanical structure.
A tomato is the developed ovary of the tomato plant flower. The plant is called a tomato plant and the fruit is the tomato you buy in the fruit shop.
By definition, a fruit is the ripened seed-bearing part of a plant when fleshy and edible. Therefore edibles such as squash, cucumbers and tomatoes are truly fruits. In less formal usage, there are two definitions of fruit, a botanical definition and an agricultural definition. Botanically speaking a tomato is a fruit. Agriculturally speaking a tomato is a vegetable. An educated person knows that a tomato is a fruit. A wise person knows not to use it in a fruit salad.
