The seed crystal provides a surface upon which the molecules in solution have a place to grow. Technically, if the solution is JUST saturated, there is no tendency for the crystal to grow but if the solution is slightly over saturated the excess solute will crystallize. And the seed crystal is where it will crystallize.
