"a herb is something that flavours food where a vegetable is a plant that can be eaten as a main ingredient."

What Is The Difference Between A Herb And A Vegetable > This Week In The Garden
This too:
An herb is an annual, biennial, or perennial plant which does not produce permanent woody stems, and has aromatic, medicinal, or savory qualities.
A fruit is the ovary or seed-bearing part of a plant.
A vegetable is any other part of a plant--stems, leaves, roots, bulbs, tubers, etc. that is eaten.
Dictionary by Merriam-Webster: America's most-trusted online dictionary
Herbs, fruits, and vegetables are all plants. Not all plants are herbs, fruits, or vegetables. Maybe they wouldn't have approved tomatoes, peppers & eggplant growing but OK'd herbs ???
