Why are fruit special though? Leaves and roots are also part of a plant, so why would a tomato not be a vegetable, but lettuce (leaf) and carrot (root) get exemptions?

Because we all collectively decided fruit were their own thing? They’re the juicy snack plants give away to trick animals into spreading their seeds.
I’m not sure why the ancient chefs decided to be silly. They should have just called it all “plants” and be done with it.
