seedpod
This term is primarily used in botanical and biological contexts to describe the protective casing of seeds. It carries a neutral, descriptive tone and is common in both scientific literature and gardening guides.
While often used interchangeably with "pod," "seedpod" specifically emphasizes the function of the vessel as a container for seeds. It is most frequently associated with legumes, such as peas or beans, where the structure is designed to rupture upon drying to facilitate seed dispersal.
