Is this "roots and seed"? I am mainly interested in "takaawa". Thanks.

seeds
I can't help very much, because I don't really know the precise difference between تقاوى and بذور. All I know is they are both "seeds" (fertilizers are سماد).
See here to confirm that تقاوى are seeds: http://egaseed.tripod.com/id9.html
This site http://osp.mans.edu.eg/mansnews/environment/wakil/site/resis...
talks of تقواى بطاطس so I THINK بذور are the conventional seeds readily found in fruits and vegetables, while تقاوى are the seeds that have to be extracted in a special way.
I wonder if there are two separate words for that in English (my dictionary only says "seeds" for both).

Comment: "Thanks, Nesrin, I think your explanations were helpful, although I went with my first choice, "roots and seeds", as in the text they use later on "takawa" with potatoes, and "potato roots" is an established expression... I just went with my intuition/inference in that regard..."

fertilized and non-fertilized seeds
أعتقد أن الفرق بينهما أن البذور تكون ملقحة وفي أول مراحل نموها كبذرة تحمل الصفات الجينية للنبات
أما التقاوى فهي بذور غير ملقَحة أو أنها التي تحمل غبار الطلع
ربما يمكن التمييز بين الكلمتين على أنهما بذور غير ملقحة وبذور ملقحة
