Yes, all beans are considered to be vegetables.

Soybean is unique among pulses as it is also an oilseed, containing about 20% of oil.

Only the edamame (young green soybean pod) qualifies as a vegetable, all other usages of the soybean involve some transformation, either from the whole beans, or from the protein-rich soybean flour after oil extraction.

The fruit of a plant is the part of the plant that surrounds the seeds of the plant as they develop. Beans do contain the seeds of the plant, but they don't have the same structure as other "fruits" like apples, tomatoes, squash, etc. So technically they are the fruit of the bean plant, but they are categorized as vegetables.

The soybean (U.S.) or soya bean (UK) (Glycine max) is a species of legume native to East Asia, widely grown for its edible bean which has numerous uses. Like all beans, soybean is a pulse, hence a vegetable. The FAO classifies it as an oilseed because of its 20% oil content, but the protein content is even higher, so that classification looks wrong.

In any case, soybean is unique among beans for this double usage, oil and protein.
They are a vegetable that looks like fat pea pods.

No; it's a legume.

Soybean is the fruit of glycine max - a plant classified as a legume. Likewise, corn is technically a fruit of zea mays- - a tall grass.
