Yes Zucchini and Cucumbers are closely related vegetables and are members of the same family but just in a different genera.

Cucumbers and Zucchini are both botanical fruits but are known and used as vegetables.

Cucumbers also have a cold, waxy, and bumpy feeling to them while Zucchinis have a more dry and rough feeling to them.
