    A “vegetable” is simply any edible part of a plant. Fruits can therefore be considered a subcategory of vegetables.

    If you really want to get into the nitty gritty, an ear of corn is botanically a fruit, since it’s the seed-bearing body of a plant. But nobody in their right mind would consider corn a fruit.
