No, a tomato is not a false fruit.
Tomatoes are considered true fruits because they develop from the ovary of the flower, containing the seeds. This is the defining characteristic of a true fruit.
False fruits, also known as accessory fruits, are fruits that develop from parts of the flower other than the ovary, like the receptacle or the calyx. Examples of false fruits include apples, strawberries, and pears.
Tomatoes, on the other hand, develop solely from the ovary and contain seeds, making them true fruits, even though they are often considered vegetables for culinary purposes.
