Broccoli is not a fruit because it is a plant, namely a Cabbage (Brassicaceae) plant. Broccoli possesses abundant fleshy flower heads, usually green in color, arranged in a tree-like fashion on branches sprouting from a thick, edible stalk. The large mass of flower heads is surrounded by leaves. Broccoli most closely resembles cauliflower, which is a cultivar group of the same species of Brassica.
I'm not sure what the previous post is saying. Fruits are parts of plants. Although the rest of the answer is correct, in fact broccoli is a flower which becomes part of the fruit. So it is in fact an immature fruit, not the leafy or vegetative part of the plant or what we would call a vegetable.
Broccoli is a fruit. If the edible part of the plant comes from the reproductive part of the plant, it is a fruit. If the edible part of the plant comes from the vegetative part of the plant, it is a vegetable (such as carrots, potatoes, radishes, lettuce, spinach, etc.) We eat the flowering part of the broccoli. Flowers house the reproductive organs.
