The cucumber is a creeping vine that roots in the ground and grows up trellises or other
supporting frames, wrapping around supports with thin, spiraling tendrils. The plant has large leaves
that form a canopy over the fruit. The fruit of the cucumber is roughly cylindrical, elongated with
tapered ends, and may be as large as 60 centimeters (24 in) long and 10 centimeters (3.9 in) in
diameter. Having an enclosed seed and developing from a flower, botanically speaking, cucumbers
are classified as pepoes, a type of botanical berry. Much like tomatoes and squash they are often also
perceived, prepared and eaten as vegetables. Cucumbers are usually more than 90% water.
