When the seed begins to grow a root and stem it will need to acquire water for photosynthesis. This will mean that water must be transported into the seed through the roots. This process is done through osmosis. The problem with salt water is that it has a very low concentration, as the water has salt dissolved into it leaving no pure water, meaning the plant must use energy actively transporting the water into the plant. Fresh water though has a high concentration as no salt is dissolved into the water and so water can be taken in easily by the seed's root by osmosis. :D
