They are not mutually exclusive words. A fruit can be a vegetable.

A fruit is defined in two ways - in everyday language it is the sweet and fleshy product of a tree or other plant that contains seed and can be eaten as food

• In botany, a fruit is the seed-bearing structure of a plant, e.g., an acorn

A vegetable is a plant or part of a plant used as food, typically as accompaniment to meat or fish, such as a cabbage, potato, carrot, or bean.
