In botanical taxonomy, a true berry is a fleshy fruit derived from a flower with a single ovary, with seeds embedded directly within the pericarp (inner pulp). Under this strict definition, bananas, tomatoes, watermelons, and pumpkins are botanical berries. Conversely, strawberries are “aggregate accessory fruits”: the sweet red flesh is actually the enlarged receptacle of the flower, while the tiny yellow specks studded across the exterior are the true individual dry fruits called achenes.
