Vitamins are organic compounds that are needed in small quantities by organisms for different metabolic processes. Most species either do not synthesize them or synthesize them in quantities that are not appropriate and must therefore be obtained from the diet.

The key food source of the antioxidant lycopene in tomatoes, which seem to be a good source of vitamin C, potassium folate, and vitamin K. Tomato contains 95 percent water. Tomato belongs to the family of Solanaceae, which is an abundant vitamin C source. There are five stamens in the members of Solanaceae, gynoecium being bicarpellary, typically bilocular syncarpous with a false septum, oblique septum, swollen placenta, and axial placentation are found.

Note: Vitamin C works as an antioxidant that helps shape collagen and promotes the development of teeth and bones. They are derived from citrus fruits and vegetables, so we see that vitamins are of high significance to us and can cause harmful effects by increasing or decreasing the number of vitamins. The number of vitamins we eat should therefore be well controlled. A tomato is a veritable fruit. They grow from a ripe and mature ovary and contain seeds. While widely known as a vegetable, the tomato is really a fruit, in fact, a berry. All the common characteristics of berries are exhibited by tomato fruits.
