Solution

Cauliflower

Explanation:

Cauliflower is not a fruit; it is a vegetable, specifically a flower head of the plant. Walnut, peach, and pea are all fruits in botanical terms because they develop from the ovary of a flower and contain seeds. Cauliflower does not develop from a fertilized ovary and hence is not a fruit.
