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.
