Grapefruits belong to the family Rutaceae (roo-TAY-see-ee), also known as the rue or citrus family. A defining characteristic of the Rutaceae is its fruit. The botanical word for a citrus type fruit is "hesperidium". Not all plants in the Rutaceae have hesperidiums, but all plants with hesperidiums are in the Rutaceae. Another common characteristic is the presence of fragrant and stringent chemicals in the leaves, stems, and other parts. Grapefruits have nothing to do with grapes ;) Grapes are in the grape or vine family, Vitaceae.

Is orange a colour or a fruit?
An orange, along with all citrus fruit, is a hesperidium, which is a "modified berry" with a tough, leathery rind. A berryis any simple fruit produced from a single ovary. Keep in mind, though, that this is the botanical term, and not common parlance. In botany, many items we call "berry," such as a cranberry, strawberry, blackberry, and raspberry, are not actually berries, and many things, such as tomatoes and grapes, are. Knowing what is a berry and what isn't is not really important though, unless you're about to take a botany exam or compete on Jeopardy.
