The seeds are shut inside the cone. The cone only opens in response to the higher heat levels and temperatures of fire. Once so opened, the cone releases the seeds. The seeds fall to the ground, to be eaten or to grow into trees

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.
It forces the seeds (such as pinecones) to open so they will be allowed to germinate. The heat activates them to open because the seed thinks it is warm enough to let the seeds germinate. And let the plant reproduce.
Cooking seeds will make sure the seeds do not grow. The only seeds that need heat to germinate are some evergreen tree seeds.
Wildfires can play a natural role in the life cycle of a forest by clearing out underbrush, helping to release seeds from certain tree species, and promoting new growth. Some tree species even rely on wildfires to reproduce, as their seeds require the heat from a fire to open and germinate.
Some plant seeds require fire to germinate as it creates the right conditions for their growth. Fire can break down tough seed coats, making it easier for water to penetrate and initiate germination. Additionally, the heat can trigger chemical changes in the seeds, and the ash left behind enriches the soil with nutrients. This adaptation is particularly beneficial in fire-prone ecosystems, where such events can create opportunities for new plant growth.
For fire you need three main ingredients. First you need a fuel, this fuel can be anything that burns like wood for example. Second you need oxygen, without oxygen a fire cannot burn. Finally you need heat, even though fires give off heat you still need it to start a fire. If you remove any one of these three ingredients then the fire will die.

Fuel, oxygen and heat.
To create a fire you need a fuel source of some kind, oxygen (O2), and a heat source.
No, fire does not need water to exist. In fact, water is commonly used to extinguish fire by cooling the fuel and removing heat. Water can help to put out a fire by suffocating it or by removing one of the elements needed for combustion, which is heat.
