    Vegetable is any edible part other than the fruit.

    Fruit is the mature enlarged ovaries of a plant containing fertilized eggs.

    Sorry, answer may not be that great.

    Fruit is fleshy material covering a seed or seeds.

    Veggies are herbaceous (leafy and green) plants grown for the edible part- roots, leaves, stem, flowers.
