Hi chef_tish, the pods will be seed pods, some make seeds but most don't. Leave the foliage to die back naturally, it will feed the bulb for next years flowers. Some tulips don't live for long, others will keep coming back, it depends on where you are and which tulips you grow.

If you wanted to lift them you can after they have died off and store them, but some just split into smaller bulbs so it's often a good idea to leave them to see if they return. I have some which set seed and flowered 7 years later, the originals disappeared after 2 or 3 years, they were doubles. I had kept a lot of seed from them but didn't sow it!
