Planting Review - Results Tables

The task at hand is the classification of various produce items into fruits and vegetables, based on their external and internal descriptions, and the presence of seeds. The list includes common items such as potatoes, tomatoes, apples, oranges, parsnips, cucumbers, and carrots. Each item is examined to determine whether it contains seeds, which is a key factor in distinguishing between fruits and vegetables. The presence of seeds (indicated by 'Y' for yes or 'N' for no) is a critical characteristic, as traditionally, fruits have seeds while vegetables are parts of the plant such as roots, stems, and leaves.

This classification exercise is essential for understanding the botanical and culinary categories of our everyday food. For example, tomatoes, commonly treated as vegetables in cooking, are botanically classified as fruits because they contain seeds. Conversely, items like potatoes and parsnips, which lack seeds, are classified as vegetables. The task involves a detailed look at each item's external appearance and internal structure to make this determination. The results table created from this analysis serves as a reference for educational purposes or for anyone interested in the scientific categorisation of these plant-based foods.
