The terms "pods" and "seed pods" can be used interchangeably to refer to structures that enclose and protect seeds. However, "pods" is more general and can encompass various types of structures, while "seed pods" specifically emphasizes the function of enclosing and dispersing seeds. Examples of plants beyond the Fabaceae family that produce pods include vanilla orchids, cacao, and certain species of acacia trees.
