There has been a lot of activity at Home Park this week, with manager Carl Fletcher signing a one-year rolling contract.
Assistant boss Romain Larrieu and first team coach Kevin Nancekivell have also done the same.
Fletcher, 32, announced his retirement as a player to concentrate on his managerial duties.
Argyle have also signed striker Paris Cowan-Hall from Conference South champions Woking for an undisclosed fee.
Berry was the runner-up to midfielder Luke Young in the voting for the Pilgrims' 2011/12 young player-of-the-year.
He was signed on a one-year contract by former Argyle manager Peter Reid last summer, following his release by Premier League club Aston Villa.
Berry played regularly at the start of last term in what was a very young team while the Pilgrims remained in administration after their financial collapse.
However, following James Brent's buyout of the club at the end of October, Paul Bignot was signed on loan from Championship club Blackpool and took over at right-back. Berry returned to the team at the start of March and over the rest of the season was a constant part of the Argyle defence which conceded 11 goals in their last 12 games.
That was one of the keys to the Pilgrims escaping relegation from the Football League.
ARGYLE chairman James Brent, chief executive Martin Baker and general manager Jason Turner are all attending the Football League's annual general meeting and summer conference in Portugal.

“Congratulations and thanx Durrell, your improvement over the final phase of last term was a contributing factor to Argyle's survival and the new contract is richly deserved. That is 3/4 of our defence now signed up, but if we don't get Robbie then Bas is on hand to step in.”

“Come on Robbie,sign up and complete our defence for next season and let Fletch concentrate on a playmaker and another striker.
Well done Durrell,after your performances last season a new contract with the Greens is richly deserved.”
