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.

Germination.
What are needed for seed germination?
The key Acronym : AWW.That stands for air, water and warmth. Take note that this is for germination and not respiration/ photosynthesis/ transpiration.Hope that helped ;)
Where does seed germination take place?

What the germination time for capsicum seed?
for the 1st capsicum to fully develop... about 4 months (depending on soil, sunlight and air quality).
Is sunlight needed for seed germination?
Sunlight is not need to germinate seeds. All that is needed is moisture and the proper temperatures.
What are needed for the seed germination?
The conditions necessary for seed germination include:optimum temperature,oxygen,adequate supply of water,sunlight,moisture content,soil ph......
What gas is needed by the seed during germination?
Oxygen gas is needed by the seed during germination. Aerobic respiration takes place during seed germination to release lots of energy required for this process.
What speeds up the germination of a seed?
Moisture, temperature and sunlight
What is needed for seed germination?
Seed germination requires the proper combination of oxygen, temperature, moisture and light. As the seed takes up water, it activates enzymes that direct the process of germination.
What does the germination of a seed depend upon?
Sunlight, water, temperature, elevation, and others.
Conditions necessary for Germination?
In order for germination of a seed to take place the seed must be viable. Sufficient food must be available for the seed to grow. Water, air, oxygen and appropriate temperature must also be available for the seedâ??s growth.

How much light intensity is needed to grow a tomato plant once it has germinated?
To grow the plant effectively, you will need about 2,000 Lumen per square foot.
What three things are needed for germination?
Conditions necessary for germination of seed: 1: Suitable temperature range 2: Oxygen 3: Water
How does water help the gemination of a plant?
first the water is absorbed by the seed shell which physicly helps germination, secondly it is the first signal needed for the embrio inside the seed to start activating all the biochemical and genetic process needed for germination
