If there is too little moisture for the seeds, then they won't even germinate. Too much water will cause the roots to rot (at least in "regular" plants and not those specifically adapted to waterlogged soil) or will actually suffocate the roots. To grow plants, the proper amount of moisture must be present for the seeds to begin growing, and also for the continued growth of the plant.

Depends on the plant. If it is a 100+ year old oak tree, for example, it will take all the water it can get. If your speaking of a small house plant, maybe a cup of water every other day at the most.

How would rain affect animals and plants?

All vegetation needs water. Without water vegetation dies. However, various plants need varying amounts of water and various plants need water under different conditions. Some plants such as cypress can grow in moist soil. Others such as cactus can survive for months without rain. All need the water that rain provides. The water in most cities contains chemicals that are not good for plants. City water can be used to keep plants from wilting but rainwater will wash away the chemicals from city water and provide a better more natural environment for plants.
