Tomato: A widely cultivated South American plant having edible, fleshy, usually red fruit...

Potato: A South American plant widely cultivated for its starchy edible tubers...

Those definitions were from my notes... The Tomato is a fruit because of the fact that it has seeds, vegetables doesn't have seeds... - None that I can think of :biggrin:...

Although the tomato isn't grown from a tree doesn't mean that its a vegetable. But many people consider the Tomato a vegetable because of the fact of how it is eaten.

The tomato isn't eaten like other fruits such as an apple (Tomato isn't held in the hand and you just bite it). -I for one think thats sick...

Tomato = Fruit
Potato = Vegetable
