'''Seeds''' are newborn [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] that are ejected from [[Onions]] or [[Candypop Bud]]s. When touching the ground, these seeds will turn into '''sprouts''', which the player can [[pluck]].
'''Sprouts''' are any underground [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] whose stems are poking out of the ground to be [[pluck]]ed. Most often, sprouts are the result of a '''seed''' that is ejected from [[Onions]] or [[Candypop Bud]]s touching the ground.
 
== Pikmin seed ==
A Pikmin seed can be produced in several ways:
 
* When the player discovers an Onion, the latter will produce a Pikmin seed.
* When a [[Pikmin extinction]] occurs, the Onion of the concerned type will eject a seed.
* When retrieving dead [[enemies]] or [[pellets]] to an Onion, it will then produce a certain number of seeds.
* When throwing Pikmin into [[Candypop Bud]]s, the latter will turn them into seeds again.
 
In ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', all seeds look the same, changing only in color. In ''Pikmin 3'', seeds are slightly different depending on the Pikmin type. [[Winged Pikmin]] seeds have stripes and are slightly smaller. [[White Pikmin]] seeds are also smaller. [[Purple Pikmin]] seeds are also slightly bigger, and [[Rock Pikmin]] seeds look like rocks.

After a seed has touched the ground, it will transform into a sprout. While it is almost an immediate process in {{p2}} and {{p3}}, it takes roughly seven seconds in {{p1}}. The player can also choose to leave Pikmin sprouts buried so that they can [[maturity|evolve]] into bud or flower Pikmin. The following is a list of ways to find a Pikmin sprout:

In a [[cave]], if some of the player's Pikmin are buried, the player will be warned when trying to leave the sublevel: if the player leaves without plucking those Pikmin, they will be lost. If all of the player's Pikmin are buried, however, the player will not be able to proceed to the next sublevel or leave the cave.
In [[caves]] in ''Pikmin 2'', if some of the player's Pikmin are buried, the player will be warned when trying to leave the sublevel: if the player leaves without plucking those Pikmin, they will be lost and these are counted as deaths. If all of the player's Pikmin are buried, however, the player will not be able to proceed to the next sublevel or leave the cave. In ''Pikmin 4'', while the player will still be warned when trying to leave the sublevel with buried Pikmin, sprouts left behind do not count as deaths and the cave can be continued as the game does not restrict players from exploring caves with no Pikmin.

Plucking is a mechanic that allows [[leader]]s to uproot a Pikmin sprout. In ''Pikmin'', the [[Smoky Progg]] is also able to uproot nearby Pikmin by performing an attack. In ''Pikmin 2'', if the player collects the [[Amplified Amplifier]], they can also use their [[whistle]] to uproot Pikmin.
