Pourquoi est-ce feminine ?

Tomates is feminine in French. The word derives from Spanish "tomate," which comes from Nahuatl (Aztec) "tomatl." When French borrowed this word, it was assigned feminine gender, likely influenced by the feminine ending "-e" that is characteristic of many French feminine nouns.
