because
No, because sunlight can not reach a seed when it is in the soil, but plants still germinate.
The four most common factors contributing to seed germination is water, oxygen, temperature and light/darkness.

When a seed begins to grow/sprout it is known as germination.
yes it does. the less light the seed has will either make the seed take longer to germinate or not germinate at all. Answer it really depends on the type of seed. some seeds like watermelon and tomato coulnd care less about how much light they get while others like lettuce would not germinate in the dark at all. but as a rule of thumb, most seeds prefer to germinate in the dark.
Sunlight is not need to germinate seeds. All that is needed is moisture and the proper temperatures.
in late spring,sunflower seed will germinate
The seed will need to respire aerobically (glucose + oxygen= energy + CO2 + Water) in order to release the energy needed to grow.
You need to put one seed in a pot of soil and place it in a room where there is no light and place another plant in a pot without soil and under a window as there are a lot of light. After a few days, you will see that the seed in the soil pot light will germinate, and you can conclude that a seed does not need light to germinate but need soil.
* Absolutely! Sunlight is essential for plants to grow. there is a big difference between what a plant needs to grow and what a seed needs to germinate. most seeds require darkness to germinate, some are light inhibited and a few require light to germinate- most notable of these is lettuce.
The Answer: A plant needs water in order to spread its type. A seed also needs air and a growing medium such as soil in order to germinate.
A mango seed will not germinate if it is coated with pomade. This will prevent the seed from germinating and growing.
