Answers: fruit or a vegtable
It can be classified as both fruit or veggie, but from the taste of it, I'd say it was a vegetable.
i think it's a fruit because it had seeds, although i think it'd be better off as a veggie bcuz it looks like one =]
its a fruit bcuz of the seeds but it looks lik a vegi
It's a fruit because it contains its seeds.
But it's a vegetable because you use it as you would a vegetable in the cooking.
It's both!

It's a fruit because it has seeds...
Fruit, as it has seeds.
The confusion about 'fruit' and 'vegetable' arises because of the differences in usage. Scientifically speaking, a tomato is a fruit. True fruits are developed from the ovary in the base of the flower, and contain the seeds of the plant. Blueberries, raspberries, and oranges are true fruits, and many kinds of nut. Some plants have a soft part which supports the seeds and is also called a 'fruit', though it is not developed from the ovary: the strawberry is an example. As far as cooking is concerned, some things which are strictly fruits may be called 'vegetables' because they are used in savoury rather than sweet cooking. The tomato, though technically a fruit, is often used as a vegetable, and a bean pod is also technically a fruit. The term 'vegetable' is more generally used of other edible parts of plants, such as cabbage leaves, celery stalks, and potato tubers, which are not strictly the fruit of the plant from which they come. Occasionally the term 'fruit' may be used to refer to a part of a plant which is not a fruit, but which is used in sweet cooking: rhubarb, for example. So a tomato is the fruit of the tomato plant, but can be used as a vegetable in cooking.
