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.

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