We have grown onions that not only had bulblets at the top of their leaves which could be planted to produce a crop, they also multiplied underground much as a daffodil or tulip bulbs do year after year. We could go out in the winter or any time of the year and dig up onions. Though they became tough and woody at certain times then they would become tender and tasty again. As I recall they were called multiplier onions. I think garlic is also a perennial. I would call them vegetables but perhaps some would not.
