Usage Note
Puder in the seed represents pudrir (also spelled podrir). Both infinitives are accepted by the RAE; pudrir is more common. The past participle is irregular: podrido/a (rotten), far more frequent in everyday use than the verb itself. Estar podrido en plata (or en dinero) is colloquial Latin American for 'to be filthy rich.'
Examples
"La fruta se pudre rápido con el calor."
Natural Translation
The fruit rots quickly in the heat.
