From Wikipedia

From a botanical point of view, the strawberry is not a berry but an aggregate accessory fruit, meaning that the fleshy part is derived not from the plant’s ovaries but from the receptacle that holds the ovaries.

That sounds weirdly sexual.

Plant Science is weirdly sexual. So much plant identification is related to examining sex parts. I remember dissecting fruits and flowers in a lab and thinking, “I’m the plant equivalent of an alien abductor.”
