Is tomatoes a fruit or a vegetable?

As we journey through this world a lot of artificial deviations are rearing their heads from every nook and cranny. Traditionally, tomatoes is a fruit but, marketers and some judge with no biological/botanical cerebral declared it a vegetable. Why do we like confusing our children, are they not discombobulated enough with all these video games? What a world to reside in! Botanically, a fruit is the seed-bearing structure in an angiosperm, a product of the ovary following flowering. In other words, it is the fleshy and sweet smelling part of a plant that could be seeded or seedless (www.biologyonline.com>fruit). According to biologyonline.com, a fruit can be classified as simple, aggregate, multiple, and accessory in nature.   Evidence abound that a fruit is a seed bearing structure developed from the ovary of a flowering plant while vegetable is other part of a plant such as roots, leaves and stem (www.livescience.com). We are in an evidence based generation, therefore, we should allow the botanists to handle the taxonomy of fruits and vegetable not by a judge, a gardener or a cook. Conclusively, there is preponderance of data to support the fact that a tomatoes is fruit not a vegetable. I rest my cerebral! Welcome to www.provocativedebate.com.
