Detailed explanation-1: -Botanists call the strawberry a “false fruit, ” a pseudocarp. A strawberry is actually a multiple fruit which consists of many tiny individual fruits embedded in a fleshy receptacle.
Detailed explanation-2: -Tomato, along with pepper, potato, and eggplant, belong to the Solanaceae family of flowering plants. This family of plants are also known as nightshades. Nightshades include more than 3000 species including many that are economically important.
Detailed explanation-3: -To a botanist, a fruit is an entity that develops from the fertilized ovary of a flower. This means that tomatoes, squash, pumpkins, cucumbers, peppers, eggplants, corn kernels, and bean and pea pods are all fruits; so are apples, pears, peaches, apricots, melons and mangos.
Detailed explanation-4: -When a strawberry flower is pollinated, the fruit doesn’t swell. The fertilized ovaries in the flower form separate, small, dry fruits. Those “seeds” on the outside of a strawberry are actually the fruits, each of which contains a single seed.
