They don't, if you're comparing the whole plants. Plants have different parts and we don't always eat the same thing. Sometimes we eat the plant itself (like the leafs) which is usually rich in fibers, sometimes we eat the fruit which is mainly carbs, sometimes we eat the seeds which are generally rich in proteins.

Lentils, beans and so on technically are seeds.
