And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so. The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning, the third day. - Genesis 1:11-13
...
And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” - Genesis 1:29-30
Seeds, scientifically, contain a coded language like DNA with detailed instructions to build a living organism.
To the ancients, it is a foundational principle that only expressed minimal information. Like an axiom in mathematics, the seed is a self-evident principle that implicitly contains everything in a point-like form.
