So, what do botanists use instead? They use terms like fruit, leaf, stem, and root to describe the different parts of a plant. It's pretty interesting to think about how we commonly refer to tomatoes as vegetables, when in fact they're technically a type of fruit!
But wait, it gets even more confusing - rhubarb is often used in fruit pies, but it's actually a type of stem! And don't even get me started on peanuts - they're not actually nuts, but rather a type of legume.
It's quirky facts like these that make the world of botany so much fun to explore. And who knows, you might just find yourself becoming a plant nerd like me!
