Vegetables are the edible part of various plants, which can be either a fruit, a tuber, a stem, or leaves.
In cooking, it is customary to call vegetables even the fruits of those plants that in the terminology of botany are called nothing else than berries or fruits. Example: a cucumber is a vegetable in cooking, and a berry in botany. Another example: a tomato is a vegetable in cooking, and a fruit in botany.
