If you have the seed (phrase words) or private key for a wallet, you have access to the funds in that wallet, yes.

If you're going to make a passphrase or mnemonic make sure it's secure. A few years ago someone used this to store something more than 1BTC.
Code:
how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood

Yeah... no comments... It obviosly got stolen. This phrase is no secret in any way, it's a well-known tongue twister.

Moral from this: if you make a mnemonic or passphrase make sure it's unique and that ONLY YOU know it.

I don't even get the OP. Is this a question or a statement?
Obviosly, a poorly chosen sequence of 10 english language words can be guessed more
easily than a random 64-digit Hex-number.

I remembered that phrase are to make backup but here with only private key anyone can access your bitcoin .
Here a big thing is that in the wallet of the blockchain after update from legacy , you can't find any private key for the HD adress wallet , you can export only transaction tracebale key only .
But still you can import any bitcoin adress in the block wallet .
In my opinion the best wallet to manage your private key is mysellium wallet and blockchain ( specially for import ) .
Never share your private key with anyone .
