Do girls have seed?

Published in Human Reproduction 1 min read

No, girls do not have seed in the traditional biological sense of sperm. However, the human egg, also known as an ovum, can be considered the female equivalent essential for reproduction.

Females produce eggs (ova) within their ovaries. These eggs are large cells that, when fertilized by a sperm, can develop into an embryo. While "seed" is not the scientifically accurate term, the egg serves a similar role to sperm in the reproductive process – providing the genetic material necessary for the formation of a new individual.

Therefore, while girls don't produce sperm (which is commonly associated with the term "seed"), they produce eggs, which are vital for reproduction. Referring to the egg as the "female seed" is an analogy, not a scientific definition.
