Soaking a seed will soften the outer layers of the seed and provide moisture to the seed. This triggers a growth response from the seed because it indicates the presence of water which the plant will need to grow. Without the moisture, if the seed germinated it would not have the moisture to grow.

The baby plant in the seed uses the food stored in the seed only when it starts growing?
No, actually, the embryo is using a small amount of stored reserve even when the seed is dry, dormant and sitting in a packet on the shelf. That's part of the reason why dry seeds eventually die if they're kept long enough.But you're right.. when the seed begins to germinate, then the increase in metabolism over what it was in the dry state is huge.Source(s):old biologist
What keeps a seed from drying out?
The seeds will not germinate at the time of storage in dry place.
Can mongo seed grow in the cotton with water?
Mongo seeds grow best in water without cotton. For effective germination of mongo seeds, leave the seeds suspended in water for between 8-12 hours. After this period, remove the seeds and new growth should take place within 24 hours.
What ends dormancy of a seed?
Dormancy is poorly understood in terms of what causes it although it is likely that very many mechanisms exist, most of them probably chemical in nature. Some responsible compounds have been isolated, but in most cases, how they work is not understood. Breaking of dormancy is reasonably well understood in empirical terms. Things that are known to break dormancy include, particular cycles of wet and dry and/or heat and cold, exposure to one period above or below a certain temperature for a certain minimum period, exposure to certain chemicals (such as smoke), abrasion of the seed-coat (perhaps by being eaten but not digested). The list is considerable and particular seeds may require any one or more triggers to germinate.
What will happen if you sprinkle water on an open box of dry bean seeds?
The beans (if soaked in water) will absorb the water and begin to sprout.
Why do seeds not grow in a packet?
Seeds need moisture to germinate, and seed packets are dry.
What happens when seeds don't germinate?
99% of fresh seed will germinate; however, sometimes there are plants which either produce infertile seed which will not germinate. Alternatively the seed which has been sown is very old and has already died or has been damaged by insects or other storage pests.
Why do seed needed wet soil to germinate?
To survive over long periods, plant seeds are dedicated. Water has to be added back to the dry cells for the life processes to resume.
What is the difference between dry corn and soaked corn?
Dry corn is dry and soaked corn is wet.
If a dry seed is placed in dry cotton and keep it on a window sill will the seed germinate in 5 days and reason?
Well have you ever tried it before? If you have tried you'll find out it will not even grow one bit as seeds need water,air and warmth to grow. Its the same as leaving a seed on a window sill and waiting for it to grow.

What would happen if the root system did not have water when the plant was a seed?
A seed would not have roots to start with until it germinates. If it then did not have enough water it would dry up and die. If it was still an ungerminated seed, it may stay in that state for a long time before it will germinate when there is sufficient water to start the germination process.
Which seed grows faster dry seed or fresh seed?
Dry seed because when the fresh seed has just came out of a plant/dog then the seed is'ent adapted to the season but the when you put the dry seed in then it will grow
How do you sow cleome seed?
I have found mixing seed with alittle sand or dry dirt, then spreading over cutivated ground worked well. Once cleome seeds get somewhere they will always be there! Let the flowers dry on the stalks. You will see little seed pods, they will dry and open leaving there seeds.
What actors and actresses appeared in Soaked Dry - 2007?
The cast of Soaked Dry - 2007 includes: Amanda Jameson Shaina Koval Woodrow Travers
What keeps a seed from drying out?
The seeds will not germinate at the time of storage in dry place.
Why do some seeds fail to germinate?
Seeds do not always germinate. Some fail because they were never fertilized, but others fail because the growing conditions aren't right. The climate may be too hot or too cold, or conditions may be too dry. They may also fail to germinate if they have been infected with mold or disease.
