What are miscellaneous fruits?
A strawberry is an accessory fruit - it's not a true fruit. A real fruit is derived from the ovary of the plant and the seed is inside of it. The seed is a fertilized ovule (or an embryo). An accessory fruit is a fruit in which some of the flesh is derived not from the ovary but also from adjacent tissue. So a strawberry is an accessory fruit and the "seeds" on the outside of it are achenes, each derived from a pistil (the ovule producing part of a plant) of the flower.
