Modernization gave us hybridization — cross breeding. From carrots, lettuce, radishes and other fine seeded species to the larger seeds of beans, pumpkins and tomatoes, every gardener kept a stash of their favorites to plant again or trade with friends. Like in real life, carrots have seeds to plant in order to grow more carrots. It just makes sense. Carrot seeds should be added and it should be added in the 1.14 update with the villagers.
