Commentaries:
We probably do not consider seeds as having bodies, but in Paul's analogy, they do.

Image and Likeness of God (Part 1)
Paul says a change will take place, and he refers again to what comes out of the grave being a body—a spirit body.
John W. Ritenbaugh
Image and Likeness of God (Part 1)
When a person sows a seed, a seed does not pop right back out of the ground. What comes out of the ground—a living plant—is different from what is put into it. This becomes the illustration to describe the resurrection from the dead: What goes into the coffin—or into the ground—is not what comes out.

The Covenants, Grace and Law (Part 13)
