copper "seed" particles

English to Spanish Tech/Engineering Metallurgy / Casting electrowinning process
The text deals with electrowinning processes. It says: "this reference comprises a vessel for the flow of the electrolyte filled with copper "seed" particles that act as cathode. During the operation, copper ions are reduced and evolve on the "seed" particles.

What are these "seeds"? like solid particles?

"núcleos" de cobre

Serían partículas que actuarían como "núcleos" en torno a los cuales se irían depositando los iones de cobre en disolución después de sufrir una reducción.
