Strawberries are a common variety of strawberry cultivated worldwide. Like other species of Fragaria, it belongs to the Rosaceae. Technically it is not a fruit although it is known as an accessory fruit, in that the fleshy part is derived not from the plant's ovaries (achenes) but from the peg at the bottom of the bowl-shaped hypanthium that holds the ovaries.
