Seeds is the user account one can use to connect to a pod on the specific server. With one seed, you can connect with other seeds (friends) on other pods (networks). So mahen23@my-seed.com can friend with johnsmith@aurora.com. Seeds work the other way round too where you can add a person to your seed by adding his seed.
Pods are basically the physical server on which you are running the Diaspora thin server. A Pod can handle a number of seeds (or user accounts). Pods address is the my-seed.com part in mahen23@my-seed.com.
Aspects are categories of your social life. For example, Family is one aspects where you can put all your family members and Work is another aspect where you can add all your work collegues. Diaspora comes with two aspects, Family and work are the two default aspects you have at install. Aspects also acts like filters where a status message posted in the Family section will not be seen in the Work section and vice versa.
