strawberry
苺 centers on the strawberry plant and its fruit.
苺 combines the plant radical 艹 with 母, which likely contributes a phonetic element. The exact historical development is uncertain.
The plant top 艹 sits above 母, like a mother plant bearing strawberries. Picture a mother plant with ripe strawberries hanging down.
For バイ, imagine buying strawberries at a market: buy -> バイ, and you pick the best ones from the plant.
