@hojatdelfan hi. There is no way to get a seed phrase from a private key. You need to save it separately if you want to.
A seed phrase is generated using some hierarchical deterministic structure named HD wallet. Seed phrase (mnemonic) is used to generate private keys as "children", but there's no way to go back.
Read bip-32 for more info.
