In botanical terms it is considered a legume, which is a fruit. In culinary terms it is considered to be a plant cultivated for an edible part, therefore a vegetable.

Botanically speaking, it is a fruit, since the seeds are contained within a pod, even though that pod develops underground. Peanuts are somewhat unique within the legume family due to their geocarpy (fruit develops underground).
a peanut is a vegetable cause of the way it grows and what not, but to everyone who's saying its just a nut or its a fruit your wrong!
fruit

It can depend on the level of vegetarianism, so yes and no. A vegetarian who still allows for dairy or egg products in their diet could probably eat peanut butter. But some companies add butter into their peanut butter, and taht is a dairy product. So those who don't allow for dairy products might have to chose a vegan peanut butter brand instead.
