I heard the seeds on the outside of the strawberry are berries.

The taxonomy in biology can be really confusing. Potatoes (only their fruits), peppers, cucumbers, eggplants, avocados, lemons, oranges, kiwifruit and papayas are also in the berry club.

Potatoes are tubers, I don’t think they fit the botanical definition of a fruit. They contain no seeds, for example.

The rest are though. Pumpkins was the one that always blew my mind.

You are correct, but the potato plant bears potato fruits, which are classified as berries. I will clarify that in my comment.

I hope you mean the taxonomy in botany, things are much clearer on the zoological side

Well, I’m not a biologist and even all my houseplants are constantly dying. For me, biology as a whole is confusing.
