so it can seed

Wildfires are part of the circle of life. They kill the grasses and trees and eventually new trees and grass emerge. Some plants need fire to germinate seeds.
The plants wouldn't be able to germinate because some plants have fire resistants seeds that fall out after being burnt. Fire also could torch the grassland and kill all the plants there, meaning that the growth would have to start over completely.
Some species are adapted to wild fires. The seeds can not germinate until they have been exposed to fire. The seeds are NOT damaged by the fire and after the fire they sprout taking advantage of the space the fire has left and the minerals in the fire's ashes.
* 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.

Fires help the Chaparral by "refreshing" the vegetation that grows there. Some plants can only grow and germinate when a fire occurs. They are called "fire anuuals." An example is the herbaceous species.The Chaparral vegetation(ex. shrubs) have 4 different strategies to survive a fire:1. Obligate resprouters. These plants survive fires by resprouting only e.g. Toyon and Scrub Oak.2. Obligate seeders. The adult plants die in the fire. Seeds receive a fire cue and then germinate e.g. Ceanothus.3. Fire followers. These annual plants require some fire cue for germination..4. Facultative seeders: The adult plant resprounts and a fire cue enhances seed germination.

The seeds of some plants can survive in a dry condition for hundreds of years and then germinate when placed in an environment with plenty of water.

Some species do and some species don't. All species need their seeds to be in their own type of environment to germinate.
they germinate now because the seeds fall and the seeds get buried and in the spring it rains and it starts to grow =)ok this is the truth this place or anything that you need to know about plants and some stuff you wont get but this is why
No, in fact some seeds lay dormant for many years and others are triggered by heat (only germinate after a forest fire).
