Best Answer

The sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is an annual flowering plant.

It is valued for its seeds, which are fruits.

  • Fruit: matured ovary of a flower, containing seed.
  • Vegetable: edible roots, tubers, stems, leaves, flowers.
  • Cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers are technically fruits, even though most of the world calls them a vegetable by custom.

Botanically speaking, yes; only fruits have seeds. Vegetables are seedless.

Perhaps a little clarification is needed here.

Fruit and vegetable plants all have seeds. The vegetable as we use it in the kitchen is not the part of the plant that produces the seed,except with peas and beans. With fruit the seed is contained within the fruit i.e. the seed pod.

Even though it's seedless, it must have had seeds at one point. So it is still a fruit.
