Morphology

berrylike = berry (transparent) = berry + like

The adjective is formed productively from the noun 'berry' with the productive suffix '-like', so the meaning 'resembling a berry' is directly derivable.

Etymology

The word berrylike is made of berry and -like, where berry is a small fruit and -like means 'similar to', as in lifelike or childlike. So berrylike simply means 'resembling a berry' and is used for things that look like or have the shape of a berry.
