Those are not seeds. Those are flowers.
Mulberries produce berries, quite popular with birds and seeded
whereever they poop. The berries can be seen in a google image
search on "mulberry," or "mulberry flowers" for the flowers.
This is assuming you are talking about the trees known in the US:

There appears (from search results) to ba a UK use of "mulberry"
that refers to a flower that looks nothing like that.
Personally, I am fond of mulberries, but they are considered an
invasive exotic in some places.

Some of those pictures look like what I've got.
In all the years I've grown Mulberry this is the first time I've ever
seen anything like that. Why would they be on seedlings?

Mulberry is known for flowering and fruiting precociously.
How did fruitless mulberry seeds germinate into fruiting mulberry
trees?
They didn't. There is no fruitless seed, the seeds are in the fruit not
naked.

These are mulberry fruits. They've turned black & juicy. There's not much taste unless I eat several at once.
