Peach seeds contain cyanogenic glycosides. These substances are capable of decomposing into a sugar molecule and hydrogen cyanide gas. While peach seeds are not the most toxic within the rose family, that dubious honour going to the bitter almond, large doses of these chemicals from any source are hazardous to human health. it will take a -lot- of peaches to get enough hydrogen cyanide to harm someone.

Peach trees are grown from a peach pip (the seed) and the peach is the fruit of the tree.

The anatomy of a peach include the seed and the pericarp. The seed is comprised of endosperm, embryo, and seed coat. The pericarp is comprised of the endocarp, mesocarp, and the exocarp.

The seed of a peach is commonly referred to as a "pit" or "stone." It is the hard, inner part of the peach fruit that contains the seed itself. Scientifically, it is known as a "drupe," which is a type of fruit characterized by a fleshy outer layer surrounding a hard shell with a seed inside.
I looked it up, but none had anything about the name of it so I suppose it is just Peach Seed.
