Lore-wise, Gene Seed is a general term that refers to the genetic material made by the Emperor of Mankind to create Space Marines. Every member of the Adeptus Astartes is a genetically modified human with 19 additional organs (22 for new-generation Primaris marines) that give them their superhuman characteristics, such as their strength, resilience, and agelessness.
