The adjective is formed by compounding 'several' with 'seeded' (seed + -ed), so the meaning 'having several seeds' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Several-seeded is made of two parts: several meaning 'more than one' and seeded meaning 'having seeds'. So, several-seeded describes a fruit or pod that contains many small seeds, like a berry you cut open to find lots of tiny seeds.
