A berry is a watery, often sweet fruit under 4cm

That is the colloquial definition. The scientific definition of a berry differs a bit.

Yeah, well scientists just like making things more complicated so they can feel important

If it's a small fruit you can pop in your mouth without a stone, it's a berry
