Might be a stupid question, but what is the runners of a strawberry

plant?

When a strawberry plant flowers, those flowers will (hopefully) become
pollinated, then they will turn into first green, then red fruit - i.e.
strawberries. In the flesh of the fruit are tiny dark specks which are
seeds of the plant, which could be used to propagate further plants.
But strawberries have a secondary method of propagation - by runners.


An excellent piece

Thank you
