Hi
My expressio nof "seed" is when you start to mesh parts of a model, i.e. edges of a 2D/3D, this gives node points that the mesher will use to generte the boundary and domain mesh afterwards. You can sometimes, in this way, easily force the meser to respect certain criteria for max or min mesh size without to much effort.
You have also all the custom settings, you can add several "size nodes, as well as dimensions, and the latter allows you to define geoemtrical functions for the node density distribution too
Another term I use are "hard mesh points", this is typically when you add internal boundaries, or just "points on domains or boundaries, to get a node to stick there, and to have easier pickup points/edges for the postprocessing. These geoemtries are not really used for the model or the physics, its just easi hep for pick and select. In the latest COMSOlrelease several of these new features were added to the mesh nodes. I'm not sure everyone has noticed them (2 sub levels down in the tree) but these are really nice and handy for manual tweaking a complex mesh

Good luck
