Superfield covariance is not Grassmann dependence alone

A superfield is a field on superspace with a specified Super-Poincaré group transformation law. Being a polynomial in anticommuting coordinates alone does not specify this law or make coefficients a supermultiplet. Conversely, a suitably graded function on full superspace, acted on by coordinate pullback, is an unconstrained scalar superfield. A polynomial with spacetime-independent coefficients can be a special constant-component chiral superfield; dependence on spacetime is not itself the defining criterion. Chirality and reality impose additional conditions.
