Avocado is a berry

1. By definition a berry is a fruit in which the entire pericarp is soft and pulpy. Examples of berries include:
-Avocado
-Banana
-Oranges
-Watermelons
-Blueberries

(commonly known "berries" such as raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries are not actually berries. These fruits are rather aggregate fruits-fruits that consist of multiple smaller fruits with their seeds on the outside)
