Biology
The Seeds of Life is a small, lichen-like plant that roots into asteroids or space debris and grows at an extremely slow rate. Because of it's habitat, it takes oxygen from the rock it's in, rather than from the air, because there isn't any in space.

Diet and Feeding Patterns
The Seeds of Life's diet consists of soil and rock

Mating and Reproduction
The Seeds of Life Reproduce by spreading over whatever terrain it finds itself on. It spreads between asteroids, planets through collisions of these bodies. Sometimes a section of the plant becomes detached from an asteroid and floats through space, dormant, until it lands on a new home.

Original article
The Seeds of Life is a plant that has somehow evolved to withstand the harsh environment of space. It is a small, lichen-like that roots itself onto asteroids (or space debris) and proceeds to grow at an extremely slow rate. Even after millions of years, a patch on an asteroid far away from it's star may only grow to be a few meters in diameter, although in a smaller orbit, it can grow much faster. Although rare, it is possible for some asteroids to become entirely covered in the stuff, especially if the space rock harbors lots of the ingredients necessary for life. This telltale sign of green could, in later ages, be used to find these ingredients for mining, or some other purpose.

On the main planet of Conglomera, the Seeds of Life simply appear as an unassuming lichen, and could exist in a large number of environments. As Tardigrades are not canon, this plant essentially serves as a replacement, as well as a possible carrier of Panspermia.
