I believe I watched a show or read something on this once...
I think a strawberry has relations to roses, so it might actually be flower, but I could be wrong. But I know most would consider it a fruit, at least I do.

Berries are a fruit, so the answer is fruit.

All berries are fruits. A strawberry is indeed a berry and hence a fruit.
On a side note, it is the only fruit with seeds on the outside.

The strawberry is an accessory fruit; that is, the fleshy part is derived not from the ovaries (which are the "seeds", actually achenes) but from the peg at the bottom of the hypanthium that held the ovaries. So from a technical standpoint, the seeds are the actual fruits of the plant, and the flesh of the strawberry is modified receptacle tissue. It is greenish-white as it develops and in most species turns red when ripe.

It is a berry. The distinguishing characteristic of berries is that the seeds are on the exterior.
