Accepted Answer

Cucumber is not a vegetable in the botanical sense; it is a fruit because it develops from the flower of the cucumber plant and contains the seeds. Vegetables are typically considered to be the edible vegetative parts of plants, such as leaves, stems, roots, bulbs, and tubers, which does not include the cucumber as it is the fruiting body of the plant.
