A strawberry is a short plant in the wild strawberry genus of the rose family. It is a widely grown hybrid species of the genus Fragaria. The name is used for its very common sweet edible "fruit" and for flavors that taste like it.
The real fruit of the plant are the tiny "seeds" around the "fruit". The fruit is actually a sweet swelling of the plant's stem around the real fruit, which people call the pips. Although in its name, strawberries are actually not berries.[1]
The plant grown today is a mix of two other species of wild strawberries. It was first grown in the 1750s.
