Answer 3

It's a Fruit

Avocados contain a large seed, which classifies them as fruit.

There is no single definition of "fruit" and "berry" that is in universal use. But in botanical terms, Avocados are not just fruits; more specifically, they are berries. For a fruit to be classified a berry, it must develop from a single ovary. The avocado, banana, watermelon and tomato are some examples of fruits we usually don't call berries, but that actually are berries by this definition. Strawberries on the other hand, are fruits but not berries by the same definition.
