It's a fruit, but is used as a vegetable as already stated.
They are similar to peppers, in that they are also fruit, which are used as vegetables.
hahaa- I've always asked people what peppers were, myself. you would be surprised how many people say "fruit" automatically when asked about tomatoes but have to think for a while about peppers, lols. 🤣

Woah! I've thought about this, too! And how do peeps get things like sunflower seeds?! Any flower seeds, for that matter?

not with the bananas you buy, naturally grown bananas contain seeds but the ones we consume have been genetically modified so that there are no seeds

You cut a part of the plant and bury that, if you are lucky you get a tree. After you get fruits some people just cut it down anyways, I'm not sure if it's because of they only give out fruits once or just to make more trees. 🤣

Fruit. A lot of vegetables are fruits. Think eggplant, cucumbers, etc. Carrots, potatos, etc are not.

I voted fruit, because it has flesh around seeds. However, they will always be a vegetable to me since I don't like the taste of tomatoes that much. Haha, if it doesn't taste good, it's a vegetable!

The sweeter the apple, the higher the branch. The quieter the fart, the nastier the smell.

Have you hear the saying?
"Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad"

I've seen cherry tomatos in fruit salads. 🤣 I guess it should depend on what fruits they are put together with.
It's a vegetable, of course, if you speak about food. It's the same family as potatoes and eggplants for instances.
But botanically speaking is a fruit. Every modification due to fecundation of an ovary of a plant is a fruit.
I'm quoting wiki saying that "the term fruit has different meanings dependent on context, and the term is not synonymous in food preparation and biology".
So in short the tomato is a fruit AND a vegetable (but it's not meat, sorry 🤣 ).
