Vocabulary

melon

Hi,
What category does melon fall into?
Is that a fruit or vegetable?
Is there a category for some fruits like melon,watermelon,cantaloupe,eggplant and the like which are produced in summer and mostly from a bush?
My ideology is that there is a specific category for these fruits(not sure if they are fruits).
Regards,

Iman

imantaghavi melon,watermelon,cantaloupe Fruits imantaghavi eggplant Vegetable. The botanical difference is that fruits carry the seeds produced by the ovary of the flower, while the other vegetative parts of the plant produce leaf, stem and root vegetables. Many lay people classify by sweetness, however, leaving tomatoes among the vegetables and lemons nowhere at all.

Hi Mistre Micawber,
Thank you very much for your time.
So there are only two categories exist(vegetables and fruits), right?
