seedlets
Miniature plant beginnings
Seedlets are tiny seeds or seed-like structures, often used in botanical or agricultural contexts for very small plant seeds.
The diminutive -let emphasizes their miniature size: The wind scattered seedlets across the field.
The word sometimes appears in figurative contexts for small beginnings or nascent ideas.
