Zucchini or squash is a plant with yellow or green fruits, and its shape is generally similar to cucumber, although a few are produced in the form of fruit or a bottle. On a culinary level, zucchini is treated as a vegetable, which means that it is usually served as a delicacy or accompaniment. A zucchini, like a squash, is a botanically immature fruit that has swollen ovaries. The fruit is classified as a cucurbit fruit and is produced from the female flowers as the zucchini plant is monoecious.
