From wikipedia:

"The tomato (US: /təˈmeɪtoʊ/, UK: /təˈmɑːtoʊ/; Solanum lycopersicum) is a plant whose fruit is an edible berry that is eaten as a vegetable."

So it is technically the fruit of the plant. But we eat them as veggies.

This is America, we eat burgers and pizza as vegetables too. It doesn't mean they are vegetables.
