About the Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa):

The garden strawberry is a hybrid species in the family Rosaceae, cultivated worldwide for its aromatic, bright red fruit. Despite its name, the strawberry is not a true berry — it's an accessory fruit, with the fleshy part derived from the receptacle rather than the ovary. The tiny "seeds" on its surface are actually individual fruits called achenes, each containing a single seed. First cultivated in 18th-century France, the modern strawberry descends from wild species native to the Americas and quickly became one of the most popular fruits in temperate gardens across North America, Europe, and beyond.
