Zucchini is a summer vegetable and a representative plant of the Cucurbitaceae family.

This stem has leeches with hard hairs like thorns that help the plant to adhere. The plant’s leaves are large, coarse, and covered with thorn-like hairs. In its single-chambered yellow flowers, the bases of the calyx and corolla are adnate. The fruit of the plant, called zucchini, is fleshy and watery. It contains seeds called zucchini seeds.
