How is tomato a fruit?

Answer 1

Yes. It is considered a berry, but scientists and botanists continue to debate about this. My answer is that it has seeds and grows on a vine, like a strawberry or a pumpkin, so it is a fruit.

Answer 2

In appearance, the fruit of the tomato plant most closely resembles the fruit of the potato (the berry that forms above ground, not the tuber) and of the belladonna (deadly nightshade) plant and it is, in fact related to both. It is also related to tobacco, pepper, eggplant and petunia, all from the family Solanaceae.
