''Plant Affinity''

The symbiotic entity entwined with Seed has vegetable and fungal properties, including extending something like the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycorrhizal_network Mycorrhizal Network] around them. Through this, as well as chemical signals, spores, and pollen Seed can influence plants. In turn, plants can communicate information to Seed. It also means that Seed's body sprouts fruiting bodies on occasion, and has flesh that's a shifting mix of meat and vegetable. Basically, something not unlike a dryad without the benefit of being rendered in paint to smooth over what that means.

''Superhuman Senses''

Every bit of plant and fungal matter in the air around Seed informs them about the world. The communication networks of fungi and plants are open to them, as well as all of the inhuman senses that plants and fungi have.

''Insect Control''

Ongoing development of control over the chemical signals produced allows Seed to trigger responses in insects, especially those already primed to receive messages from plants or fungi. The exo-biology of the symbiot allows for more complex signals and a deeper hijacking of natural actions, including artificial swarm creation.

''Regeneration''

The fuller intermingling of the two source organisms for Seed's body allows rapid reassignment of undamaged tissue to the function of damaged tissue, as well as exploiting the healing / replacement methods of one source when that of the other are more difficult. Tissue clusters of undifferentiated cells also develop throughout their body, which can rapidly reproduce into whatever cell types needed, allowing for nearly instantaneous repair of even massive biomass loss coupled with large separated pieces either seeking to return to the core mass or self destruct as appropriate based on the chemical signals.
