Green onions (AKA scallions or spring onions) are definitely a vegetable: they are the bulb and stalk of the green onion plant.

You can generally tell fruits from vegetables because fruit is a seed-bearing organ of the plant, whereas vegetables are just the tasty pieces of the plant. For example, onion seeds are small and black, sort of like poppy seeds but even smaller. You won't find them in the green onions that you buy at the supermarket. Tomatoes, on the other hand, are a type of fruit that we usually think of as a vegetable because they aren't sweet.
