Well wait a minute, then, biologically what are cucumbers, green beans, asparagus, etc.? They're not fruits.

  Cucumbers and green beans are fruit. Fruit is a botanical term for the structure that a flower grows into once fertilized. Fruit has seeds.

    (and fennel is an herb, which is a vegetable, that makes fruits which have seeds)

      I think fennel seeds are considered a spice in culinary terms. The bulb part I think would be a vegetable in culinary terms.
