Answers: it seems like a fat, but im not sure

I think an avacado is a fruit since it has a seed.
think of the similarities of an avacado and a peach if you ignore the taste

its a fruit

Fruit.

It's a fruit because it has a seed.

Fruit!

a food like that comes under fruit,its very rich but it nice for a treat sometimes

avacodos have fat.. but fat from avocados, fish, and nuts (omega 3 fats) are really healthy and promote brain growth and development ... you NEED these fats. when we had a mercury scare in the fish my mother bought omega 3 fat pills to take once a day.
But avocado is a fruit and they are healthy

I got this off a website:
Avocado Nutrition Structure/Function Statements

Avocados contain 81 micrograms of the carotenoid lutein, which some studies suggest may help maintain healthy eyes.
Avocados are included in Fruits & Veggies—More MattersTM consumer educational program to promote increased consumption of fruits and vegetables for good health.
Avocados contribute nearly 20 vitamins, minerals and beneficial plant compounds that can contribute to the nutrient quality of your diet.
Avocados, due to their mono and polyunsaturated fat content, are a healthy substitution for foods rich in saturated fat.
One-fifth of a medium avocado (1 oz) has 50 calories and contributes nearly 20 vitamins and minerals making it a good nutrient choice.
Avocados contain 76 milligrams beta-sitosterol in a 3-oz serving of avocado. Beta-sitosterol is a natural plant sterol which may help maintain healthy cholesterol levels.

It's a fruit but some people argue that it is a vegetable because you can eat it with meat and rice (i'm hispanic and we do this).
