What is a "seed"?

A seed is a small, often hard object produced by a fruit or vegetable, containing the embryo of a new plant. Seeds serve as a means of reproduction and dispersal for plants, enabling them to propagate and spread across different environments. They contain all the genetic information and necessary nutrients for the development of a new plant. Seeds come in various shapes, sizes, and textures, and are a fundamental aspect of plant biology and agriculture. Additionally, seeds are a valuable source of nutrition for humans and animals, containing essential nutrients such as proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.

a way or track that is built or made by people walking over the same ground

What is a "path"?

A path is a track or way that forms naturally over time as people repeatedly walk over the same area. It may start as a small trail that becomes more defined and visible from constant use. Paths are often found in parks, forests, or rural areas, where they are created by foot traffic as people travel along the same route. These paths may not be formally constructed but are shaped by the movement of individuals who pass over the ground consistently.
