Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Consider the example of eggplant (brinjal); in many countries, it is called as 'eggfruit.' This is mainly because of the formation of the plant and distribution of seeds. If you look at the plant, you'll find that the seeds are surrounded by a giant ovary (the good part) which makes these plants different from traditional fruits. In some cultures, these are treated as vegetables, whereas others treat them as fruits.
