fruit tastes nice,vegetables are the Devils food.

Fruit:
Botanically, a fruit is an organ that develops from the ovary of a flowering plant and contains one or more seeds. Culinarily, a fruit is often used as a snack, used in a breakfast, or used as the basis of a desert. Fruit contains a wide variety of colors, flavors, and textures. Fruit is like candy, but natural.

Vegetable:
Any herbaceous plant (one with little or no woody tissue) that can be wholly or partially eaten.
The categories are: Flowers/buds, fruit-vegetables, squashes & guards, leafy greens, Fungi, Bulbs, pods & seeds, roots & tubers, and stalks.

Some vegetables (In the fruit-vegetable category) are actually fruits.

I believe the very basic difference is that fruit has seeds/pits on the inside, and vegetables have their seeds on the outside, which is why tomatoes are technically considered to be a fruit!!

Actually they are ALL Vegetables, hence why the "food pyramid" lists it as servings of fruits and vegetables. Fruits are really just a more pleasant taste basically. The designation between the two comes from a old tax.

Where they grow. Are they from the ground, or from a tree or vine ?
Ground = vegetable
Tree/ Vine = fruit

fruit has seeds or pips
