How can you just assert that seeds are not anologous to sperm? You don't get to dismiss someone else's apology because your perspective has less layers of abstraction and is therefore more accurate.
The entire concept of analogy requires abstraction. Any analogy can be torn down by pointing out some inaccuracy in the comparison. If there weren't any inaccuracies then it would be two thing anologous to each other it would just be two examples of one thing.
Sperm is absolutely anologous to seeds. That's why we call it sperm.
You're confusing the metaphorical sort of "analogous" with the term "analogous" used in evolutionary biology.
