Vegetables don’t exist. It’s a culinary word which does not exist in botany. It describes an enormous umbrella of fruits, roots, leaves, stems, flowers, and seeds.
What ? I’ve study botany and the term fruit is used extensively.
A fruit is the heterozygotic offspring of the parent plant.
A seed is the male zygote, with the female zygote being pollen.
So “seed” oils are made from fruit, just like olive oil.
A tuber (potato) or rhyzome (ginger) is a homozygotic offspring.
A vegetable is a part of the plant that is not the offspring, like the leaves, stem or root.

Exactly. Botanically cucumbers are berries, just like bananas which makes much more sense.
