Best Answer

A berry is just is a single fleshy fruit with seeds inside.

What makes a strawberry unique from the berry classification is that the actual fruits, which are informally called seeds, are on the outside. The fleshy red part itself isn't actually a fruit itself. So basically a strawberry is a group of multiple fruits.

Strawberries are known as "false fruits." This is because the flesh of the strawberry is not derrived from the ovary but from adjacent tissue. The true fruit of the strawberry plant are the seeds on the outside.
A berry carries the seed of the plant inside the outer covering. A strawberry carries its seed on the outside so is not a berry. What is normally thought to be the berry is a large convex fleshy recepticle.
