It's a FRUIT, because a fruit is defined as the part of a plant that comes from the flower and often carries the plant's seeds inside.
However, botanically it's in the fruit subcategory known as pepos, which is a BERRY with a hard rind and no internal divisions.
It's also a VEGETABLE, because the watermelon is a member of the cucumber family, which also includes GOURDs. They’re grown like vegetable crop using vegetable production systems.
Also, the term "vegetable" is actually a culinary term, not a botanical one. Its definition has no scientific value and is somewhat arbitrary and subjective.

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad
Which explains so much.
No real point. Just explaining why your bedroom smells like a 90 year-old homeless man's hair.
