The term "fruit" refers to a portion of a plant that is defined as a swollen/ ripen ovary containig seeds, under that definition a tomato is actually a fruit, the same applies to eggplants, apples, peaches, pairs, gooseberry, avocado etc.

"Vegetable" is normally described as an edible plant part, in most instances the roots or leaves of the plant (potato, lettuce, cabbage etc.)
