I decided to Google it as you suggested. The term "vegetable" doesn't really have a single widely accepted definition. It can apparently be used to describe any edible part of a plant by the broadest definition (i.e. a fruit is a vegetable).

Yes that’s the fun of it! What are green beans and peas if not vegetable? People got really mixed up I think by the food pyramid, which is nothing more than government propaganda and it hasn’t been used for years anyway
