Root Explanation
Seeded → It is formed from "seed" (from Old English *sǣd*, meaning the reproductive part of a plant) and the suffix "-ed" (indicating a past action or state). The word "seeded" means having been provided with seeds or having seeds present.
Memory Tip
Think of the 'seed' as the part of a plant that grows into something new, and the '-ed' shows that this action has already happened — that's why 'seeded' means something has been provided with seeds.
