Morphology
The meaning 'a person or company that sells seeds for planting' is directly and compositionally derived from 'seed' + 'seller' — literally a seller of seeds. This follows regular English compound noun formation and is cross‑linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Seed seller is a simple name for a person or business that sells seeds. Picture a shop counter with tiny packets of seed and a friendly seller handing them to farmers or gardeners, and you can see why it means 'a person or company that sells seeds for planting'.
