Answers:
Naturally it takes one to throw a cog in the works!. The simplicity of "fruits have seeds and vegetables don't) unfortunately doesn't work!. Because zucchini and cucumbers have seeds!. Pumpkins have seeds - you see where I'm going with that!. And I've never heard a pumpkin, zucchini or cucumber referred to as a fruit!.
Broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, etc!. have seeds if you allow them to grow that long!.
I don't have an answer for you but I did want to clarify the business about the seeds!.
This is one of the definitions from the Meriam-Webster dictionary for "fruit":
1 a : a product of plant growth (as grain, vegetables, or cotton) <the fruits of the field> b (1) : the usually edible reproductive body of a seed plant ; especially : one having a sweet pulp associated with the seed <the fruit of the tree> (2) : a succulent plant part (as the petioles of a rhubarb plant) used chiefly in a dessert or sweet course c : a dish, quantity, or diet of fruits <live on fruit> d : a product of fertilization in a plant with its modified envelopes or appendages ; specifically : the ripened ovary of a seed plant and its contents e : the flavor or aroma of fresh fruit in mature wine!.
This is Meriam-Webster's definition of a vegetable:
2 : a usually herbaceous plant (as the cabbage, bean, or potato) grown for an edible part that is usually eaten as part of a meal ; also : such edible part
This is the definition from Wikipedia:
The term fruit has different meanings dependent on context, and the term is not synonymous in food preparation and biology!. In botany, which is the scientific study of plants, fruits are the ripened ovarys of flowering plants!. In many plant species, the fruit includes the ripened ovary and surrounding tissues!. Fruits are the means by which flowering plants disseminate seeds, and the presence of seeds indicates that a structure is most likly a fruit, though not all seeds come from fruits!.[1] No single terminology really fits the enormous variety that is found among plant fruits!.[2] The term 'false fruit' (pseudocarp, accessory fruit) is sometimes applied to a fruit like the fig (a multiple-accessory fruit; see below) or to a plant structure that resembles a fruit but is not derived from a flower or flowers!. Some gymnosperms, such as yew, have fleshy arils that resemble fruits and some junipers have berry-like, fleshy cones!. The term "fruit" has also been inaccurately applied to the seed-containing female cones of many conifers
And for veggies from Wikipedia:
The term "vegetable" generally means the edible parts of plants!. The definition of the word is traditional rather than scientific, however!. Therefore the usage is somewhat arbitrary and subjective, as it is determined by individual cultural customs of food selection and food preparation!.
Generally speaking, a herbaceous plant or plant part which is regularly eaten as unsweetened or salted food by humans is considered to be a vegetable!.[citation needed] Mushrooms belong to the biological kingdom Fungi, not the plant kingdom, and yet they are also generally considered to be vegetables, at least in the retail industry!.[1][2] Nuts, seeds, grains, herbs, spices and culinary fruits are usually not considered to be vegetables, even though all of them are edible parts of plants!.
In general, vegetables are those plant parts that are regarded as being suitable to be part of savory or salted dishes, rather than sweet dishes!.[who!?]However there are many exceptions, such as for example the pumpkin, which can be eaten as a savory dish, a vegetable, but which can also be sweetened and served in a pie as a dessert!.
Some vegetables, such as carrots, bell peppers and celery, are eaten either raw or cooked; while others, such as potatoes, are eaten only when cooked!.
