The reason cucumbers are considered a fruit is because it has an enclosed seed and develops from a flower, cucumbers are scientifically classified as fruits. Much like tomatoes and squash, however, their sour-bitter flavor contributes to cucumbers being perceived, prepared and eaten as vegetables, which is the accepted culinary term. In short terms: anything that is a the "fruit" of a plant is a fruit, and anything that is a part of a plant (for example a carrot is the root of th carrot plant) is a vegetable.
