Zucchini and Cucumbers are in the same family of vegetables.

Cucumbers and Zucchini are members of the gourd vegetable family but they're of a different genera.

Zucchinis are more rough and dry in texture while Cucumbers are bumpy, waxy and cold feeling than Zucchinis.

They're however still both botanical fruits even though they're known and used as vegetables.
