Fruits and vegetables are plants that we eat. Since we are omnivores, we eat both plants and meat. The meat that we eat are cows, pigs, sheep, chicken, duck and sea food. Fruits and vegetables grow in either trees or the ground. Fruits and vegetables are in the same food group.
So above, it says fruits and vegetables are plants that grow. The difference between a fruit and a vegetable is that fruits have seeds and vegetables don't. Bananas may appear to have no seeds but they do. Some people might also think that tomatoes, cucumbers and kiwi are vegetables but they are completely a fruit because of their seeds.
Also, vegetables are either the root part or the actual bulk of the plant that we eat, while fruits are the seed parts of the plant that are produced from flowers. When we pick a vegetable, usually the entire plant is taken out, but when we pick fruit, the plant lasts to produce more fruit. This hold true for all the above stated fruits.
