Let's start from the definition. A seed phrase is a set of different unrelated words, varying from 12 to 24 words (in some cased even more) which would most likely make no sense even if you tried to somehow make meaning out of it. These set of words are provided from the wallet you want to use, which are the stepping stone of your wallet Let's take a look at the following seed phrase (all are randomly generated, don’t think you have a chance getting my real seed phrase)

dose

transfer

few

coincidence

trench

patent

elect

behave

record

suspect

multiply

gossip

As you can see this is 12-words-long, and there is no way you could get something meaningful out of them. Seed Phrases are extremely important for the safety of your wallet or NFT hardware wallet, and once lost, there would be no way of retrieving your assets unless finding/remembering all of them.

There are a number of different ways you could go with protecting seed phrases, while they would normally come with their own pros and cons, choose the one best suited to your needs.
