Reseed is the way I2P gets information about other I2P nodes and connects to them.
In short: a fixed list of reseed https hosts do exist and on first start I2P tries to fetch via Clearnet https one of those servers to fetch the reseed host file, which contains around 100 peers information (taken from a live netDB). After the file is fetched and checked against a valid cert, the netDB entries are saved and I2P starts trying to connect the hosts from the reseed file to start up into the I2P network.
