Vegetables are parts of plants that are consumed by humans or other animals as food. The original meaning is still commonly used and is applied to plants collectively to refer to all audible plant matter. Such as flowers, fruits, stems, leaves, roots, and seeds. The alternate definition of the terms is applied somewhat arbitrarily, often by culinary and cultural tradition. it may exclude foods derived from plants that are fruits, flowers, nuts, and cereal grains.
Hope this helped
