- Strawberries are low-growing herbaceous plants with a fibrous root system and a crown from which arise basal leaves.
- The leaves are compound, typically with three leaflets, sawtooth-edged, and usually hairy.
- The flowers, generally white, rarely reddish, are borne in small clusters on slender stalks arising, like the surface-creeping stems, from the axils of the leaves.
- The flesh consists of the greatly enlarged flower receptacle and is embedded with the many true fruits, or achenes, which are popularly called seeds.
- The fruits are rich in vitamin C and are commonly eaten fresh as a dessert fruit, are used as a pastry or pie filling, and may be preserved in many ways.
