    I guess botanically. From wikipedia

    In botany, the zucchini’s fruit is a pepo, a berry (the swollen ovary of the zucchini flower) with a hardened epicarp. In cookery, it is treated as a vegetable, usually cooked and eaten as an accompaniment or savory dish, though occasionally used in sweeter cooking.

        Eggplants, pumpkins, tomatoes and chili peppers are berries as well.

        Blackberries, raspberries and strawberries on the other hand aren’t berries.
