The global seed vault contains seeds from all kinds of plants in the world. It is basically a vault for all the plant species, in case doomsday is here and all the plants perish. The doomsday vault contains all the stored seeds in case of emergency.

The name comes from the fact that if there is a global disaster, the doomsday vault will be a good hope for humans to save the planet and themselves. The seeds can then be used to grow more plants and start life once again. This will help bring life back on earth. Hence, it is an emergency means of survival in case of disaster.
