Vegetables aren't real. Potatoes are a tuber, avocado are a fruit, onion is a root, etc.

    Vegetable is a culinary category but not a botanical one. Fruit is a botanical and a culinary category and the two categories overlap but are not identical. Tomatoes are fruits (botanically) and vegetables (culinarily) but not fruits (culinarily).

    Vegetables are the parts of a plant that aren't fruit imo

    But that's just incorrect. A potato is a tuber, not a vegetable, just like avocados are fruits and not vegetables.

    Is a tuber not a type of vegetable in the same way a leaf and a root can be a vegetable? Fruits are not vegetables obviously. If Tubers, roots, and leaves do not fall under the classification of vegetable then I suppose it truly does not exist.
