Is there even a botanical definition of vegetables?

A pdf to clear it up, and confuse you more... maybe. https://wpcdn.web.wsu.edu/wp-extension/uploads/sites/2073/2020/04/Is-it-a-Fruit-or-a-Vegetable.pdf

That just defines fruit. Vegetable has no formal definition, and in practice is defined basically as "parts of plants we eat that aren't considered fruits or nuts."

No. What is or isn't a vegetable is determined entirely by whether we collectively consider any given plant or plant part a food item.
