Answer 4

It depends on what vocabulary you are using.



Culinarily speaking, it is a vegetable because it is not sweet and is used in the savory portion of a meal, as opposed to fruits like apples, which are sweet and used as sweets.



As Mike stated above, botanically speaking, it is a fruit. However, "vegetable" is not a term that is used at all in botany. It doesn't refer to a specific plant structure and all botanical terms specify what part of the plant the items comes from.



So if you are going to insist that an avocado is a fruit, you should also point out that zuchinni and okra are also fruit; spinach is a leaf; rhubarb and celery are stems; carrots, radishes, and turnips are roots; broccoli and cauliflower are both flowers and stems; nuts, grains and legumes are seeds; and potatoes are specialized stems called tubers.
