3. Is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable? 

Explanation

A tomato is classified as a fruit because it develops from the ovary of a flower and contains seeds. Although it is commonly used in savory dishes and often referred to as a vegetable, botanically it meets the criteria of a fruit. In botanical terms, a fruit is the mature ovary of a flowering plant, while a vegetable refers to other edible parts such as leaves, stems, or roots. Therefore, despite its culinary usage, a tomato is scientifically considered a fruit.
