The center of a kernel of wheat or corn that grows into an
adult plant is the germ. That may be an ok name for a minimal
image. Spore is a possibility too, but that doesn't fit so
well with kernel. Biology should be a rich source for names
but I'm drawing a blank when it comes to finding three that
fit and are constant and don't have unwanted connotations.
