Berries are supposed to be bulbous and smooth. The only berry I can come up with that kinda has strawberry features is a raspberry because it’s more squishy. But even then, it has a lot of the little balls, like a blackberry. Strawberries just don’t look like a berry.
Bayberries/waxberries aren’t really smootth, and Yewberries aren’t very bulbous.
Haskap berries are lumpy and mealy, are they not berries?
Do groundcherries count with their paper husk? Tomatillos? Cherry Tomatos?
Are cherries berries? Rose hips?
Cherry chili peppers are bulbous and smooth, are they berries?
Raspberries and blackberries often have little hairs growing off of each fruit, does that mean they’re not smooth? If hair is ok, kiwifruit are bulbous, but hariy.
I feel like you’re naming berries that don’t look like most berries and non-berries that look like berries. I think you’re actually kinda agreeing with me and making my point.
In this case, strawberries are not berries that also don’t look like berries.

here’s some more that will blow your mind, peanuts aren’t nuts, peanut butter isn’t butter, starfish aren’t fish, wow much learn
A strawberry isn’t a berry. It’s just small and has it in the name. It doesn’t even look like a berry.
Also a banana isn’t an herb. Just the banana tree is. The banana is a berry.
How do strawberries not look like berries to you?

…bananas are not herbs, dude. You don’t dry a banana and mix it into other food. It’s a fruit. You pick it, and eat it.
