Its soil. For seeds to germinate well they need to have a moist but not soggy environment. Cotton wool will become soaked when sprayed with water and will eventually drown the seeds when watered. Or they may rot due to being in a waterlogged state. Soil, on the other hand, is the perfect setting in attempt to receive the best results in germination. Soil is light weight, yet heavy enough to maintain good plant anchorage. It also contains a fair amount of course material which enable the presence of air pockets and pore spaces to be created in the soil. And lastly, soil has a balanced mineral content which doesn't contain excessive amounts of salt.

Cotton does not produce well in soil of high organic matter. A lighter sandier soil is better for cotton. Cotton can also withstand high temperatures and loves full sunlight during its growing season. Cotton is grown on different types of soils, such as sandy loam, clay loam, black cotton soil, alluvial soil and lateric soils. Cotton needs a fertile soil with good moisture holding capacity. Good drainage and aeration are also essential as the crop cannot stand excessive moisture and waterlogging.

Well at the time i am expierementing that myself. I personally think a plan will grow faster in cotton because it keeps the bean or seed moist making it soft so the skin peels off. But the plant will grow healthier in soil. -Stella Lardines

Cotton grows best in semi-sandy soil. Near a tropical beach would be the best place.
