Epigeal germination is the process in which the seed leaves or the cotyledons are brought on to the surface along with the shoot during germination. Hypogeal germination is the process in which the seed leaves or the cotyledons remain below the soil surface during germination.

Germination.
Enzymes play a large role in seed germination. The enzymes break down the materials that are stored in the seed.
The water itself stimulates the germination of the seeds.
You should consider replacing seeds for germination if they are old, damaged, have poor germination rates, or have been stored improperly. Using fresh, viable seeds will increase the chances of successful germination and healthy plant growth.
Methi seeds exhibit epigeal germination, where the cotyledons emerge above the ground during germination. This type of germination allows for the efficient exposure of the cotyledons to sunlight for photosynthesis.
To calculate germination percentage, divide the number of seeds that have germinated by the total number of seeds planted, and then multiply by 100. The formula is: (Number of seeds germinated / Total number of seeds planted) x 100. This will give you the germination percentage.
Germination
Seeds in a dried-out state are more resistant to harsh environmental conditions, such as lack of water, extreme temperatures and pests. This allows them to remain viable in the soil for longer periods until the conditions are suitable for germination. Additionally, the dormant state of dry seeds helps protect them from premature germination and ensures a more synchronized growth when conditions become favorable.
No, not all seeds require light for germination. Some seeds need darkness to germinate, while others may require light.
Yes, acid rain does affect germination of seeds by mixing in with the soil and damaging the seed coating.
