From a botanical point of view fruits develop from the flower of a plant and contain seeds, whereas vegetables could be from any other part of the plant.

However, from a culinary perspective fruits are generally sweet and vegetables are not. Thus tomatoes, eggplants are considered vegetables though biologically they are fruits.
