Well, seed is a stage in a Pikmin's life, but it's not really a maturity. I've been planning on creating a Seed article, so we'll see if the terms can be better organized in the future. In the meantime, I've added a note to the opening paragaph.

[[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] can be in one of three stages of '''maturity'''. The more mature the Pikmin is, the faster it becomes, and the more efficient it is at completing tasks. As such, it is on the player's best interest to keep their Pikmin in high maturity. A Pikmin's stage can be identified by what's on top of its stem, and there are several ways for Pikmin to both increase and decrease in maturity. Three stages exist: leaf, bud, and flower; all Pikmin start in the leaf stage when born. | [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] can be in one of three stages of '''maturity'''.

Although Pikmin start their life as a seed, and then a sprout, those stages are separate from maturity, since they already have a leaf when that happens. | ||
When stored into an [[Onion]], Pikmin do not lose their maturity, meaning that the player will not lose flower or bud Pikmin between days. When pulling Pikmin out of an Onion, flower Pikmin come out first, then buds, and finally leaves. | When stored into an [[Onion]], Pikmin do not lose their maturity, meaning that the player will not lose flower or bud Pikmin between days.

The first, basic stage. A simple green leaf sticks atop the stem. Pikmin in this state are slow and not as effective at completing tasks as other maturities. Newborn Pikmin always start off as leaves. | The first, basic stage. A simple green leaf sticks atop the stem.
