Seed is not rank. Seed is a prediction of a player's position in that tournament.
Most of the time it IS the same according to the rank, but in Wimbledon with its very specialized surface, it is calculated by a different (objective) formula, so say a #10 ranked player who's done great on grass can be seeded higher than his rank, say #6 and vice versa.
The origin of the word may come from "scattering" (like what you do with seeding plants) so that the best players don't face each other early.
From the journal American Lawn Tennis of 1898: "Several years ago, it was decided to 'seed' the best players through the championship draw in handicap tournaments so that the players in each class shall be separated as far as possible one from another."

That means the team that is most likely to win the tournament. Like in tennis the number one seed is more likely to beat the number three seed. It is just the higher you are the better your odds are to win.

it means that that player is number 1 ranked. same thing goes if a player is ranked third, they are the 3 seed. i have no clue why the word "seed" is used but i never look too much into it.

It means he wants to play farmer with you! It's a game that involves something of his that's like a plow and something of yours that's like a furrow. Farmer is a fun game, but to be safe you might tell him to plow the back forty only.
