Some vegetables, like tomatoes and cucumbers, have seeds because they are botanically fruits.
Botanically, fruits come from flowers and have seeds; vegetables are other plant parts, but in cooking, fruits are sweet and vegetables savory.
Many foods we call vegetables - like tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers - are botanically fruits because they develop from flowers and contain seeds.
