Best Answer

In Matthew 6:32 the word is επιζητουσιν (epizetousin). (Root: επι + ζητέω)

32(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

In Matthew 6:33 the word is ζητειτε (zeteite) (Root: ζητέω)

33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Both of these words share the root ζητέω. In the latter citation ζητειτε is the plural imperative.
