What makes a berry a berry? Explain.

Botanical definition

Explanation:

In botanical terminology, a berry is a simple fruit with seeds and pulp produced from the ovary of a single flower. ... The seeds are usually embedded in the fleshy interior of the ovary, but there are some non-fleshy examples such as peppers, with air rather than pulp around their seeds.

While we've tended to define berries as any small edible fruit, the official definition of a berry is "a fleshy fruit produced from a single ovary." By this definition, oranges, kumquats, blueberries, and even tomatoes can be considered part of the berry family.
