Seed in its literal sense refers to the small, reproductive unit of plants from which a new plant can develop. In extended or metaphorical senses, it denotes offspring, descendants, or posterity, especially of humans and animals; also, it can refer generically to progeny or future generations. In agricultural contexts, it sometimes refers to the act of sowing or the season for sowing. The term also functions idiomatically for lineage, inheritance, or continuation of a family or people group.
