This is a nest for the enemies, they spawn from here and spread out into the surrounding forest area. You need to destroy the nest in order to harvest an Ancient Seed. You will need three Ancient Seeds to summon the boss. You can use metal tools to break it relatively quickly. A bronze hatchet is enough to take it down in 2-3 swings.
