Plants can grow in sandy soil but there are a few factors that can make it more difficult. Sand particles are large and leave large pore spaces in between the sand grains. If the sand is too loose it will be very difficult for the plant roots to hold in place. That is why you rarely see vegetation on the extremely loose sands of the beach. Another reason sandy soil impedes plant growth is because of the rate of water infiltration and available water capacity. Basically what this means is that the pore spaces in between sand grains are so large that rainwater and other water runoff simply drains straight through the sand deep into the ground and is beyond the reach of the roots. As we all know, plants must have water to survive. A third reason that plants have a hard time growing in sandy soil is due to the reactivity of large sand grains. Plants get their nutrients from the soil and sand grains do not have the ability, for reasons I will not get into, to hold those nutrients in place.
The first leaves that grow out of a seed are called the seed leaves(very origanal)
Seeds grow on a seed head through a process called pollination, where pollen from the male part of the plant is transferred to the female part. Once fertilized, the female part develops into a seed. The seed is then released from the seed head when it is mature and ready to germinate.
If a seed is cut in half, it will not be able to grow as both halves do not contain all the necessary components and nutrients for germination. Each part of the seed needs to have all the essential factors to initiate growth, such as the embryo, stored food, and protective seed coat. Cutting the seed disrupts this balance, preventing successful growth.
the part of the seed that stores food is seed coat or testa
A seed is biotic because it is a living organism originating from a plant and has the potential to grow into a new plant under the right conditions.
no because sand does not have nutrients to grow any seed
In sand
because the sand they grow in doesnt contain energy but the suns light does and from that photosynthesis

no it wont be able to grow because a seed need water and mud and dirty and sand is just little rocks broken up it wont get all of the things it needs
Sand lacks the ability to retain moisture needed for seed growth.
Mung bean (monggo seed) grows best in loamy soil that is well-draining and nutrient-rich. While it can still grow in sandy soil, it may need extra nutrients and water because sand drains quickly and does not hold nutrients well. Adding compost or organic matter to sandy soil can help improve its fertility and water retention.
Put dirt in a pot underneath and plant seed. Next, cover sprout bottom with sand/
Due to dormancy and various levels of seed viability
You put the cactus on sand. There is no seed required. Also know they cannot grow right next to each other.
In order to grow grass seed in sand, you need to keep it moist constantly. I know first hand as my front yard is all sand and I have a beautiful lawn. I do recommend fertilizer as sand has little nutrients.
No seed can grow without land
