Why are strawberry seeds on the outside?

The strawberry is not classified by botanists as a true berry, because true berries (such as blueberries and cranberries) have seeds on the inside. The strawberry, however has its dry, yellow "seeds" on the outside, each of which is actually considered a separate fruit, and are regarded as the "True fruit" part of the strawberry! On average there are 200 tiny seeds on every Strawberry. The red, fleshy part of the strawberry (the part that everyone likes to eat so much) is actually the engorged end of the stem that is called the receptacle. The receptacle is the part of the stem where the petals, sepals, stamens and carpels are all attached. This is also true for traditional "fruits" such as apples and pineapples. When a fruit has so much extra material, delicious though it may be, in addition to the ovary, it is referred to as an accessory plant. The obvious reason being that the fruits are, in the case of the strawberry, the achenes, but the rest of the strawberry comes along with them.
