The term "test tube baby" does not refer to a baby that is kept in a test tube - babies are much too large to fit into test tubes, even aside from the fact that there is no reason to put a baby into a test tube. The term refers to the origin of the baby. If a zygote is produced by in vitro fertilization (rather than by sexual intercourse) then if that zygote is implanted in a womb and grows to become a baby, it qualifies as a test tube baby.
