The ice plant, also known as the "Carpobrotus edulis," is generally considered a fruit. It is a succulent plant native to South Africa and belongs to the family Aizoaceae.
The "fruit" of the ice plant is a fleshy, edible structure that contains seeds. It is often described as a berry or a fruit pod.
However, it's worth noting that the culinary classification of plants can sometimes vary depending on cultural and botanical perspectives.
In some culinary contexts, the ice plant might be referred to as a vegetable due to its usage in savory dishes or salads.
Nevertheless, from a botanical standpoint, it is more accurate to classify it as a fruit.

What is the difference between a fruit and a berry?
There is a difference between the culinary definition of fruit, vegetable and grain and the botanical definition. The culinary definition: Fruits and vegetables are simply distinguished on where and how the item is used for food, and depending if it is savoury or sweet. For example a tomato would be considered a vegetable and a rhubarb would be considered a fruit. Grains are simply dried seeds and cereals. The botanical definition: A fruit is the ripened ovary of a flowering plant, while a vegetable is any edible part of the plant that is not the fruit. Thus a tomato would be a fruit, while a rhubarb would be a vegetable. A grain, is also a type of fruit called caryposis that does not open at maturity.
