Seeds can die for a number of reasons before they become established plants (amongst others):

Drying out, once germination is initiated if the seed dries out it will die.

Mechanical damage, such as an animal or insect eating the newly germinated seedling.

Poor soil conditions, the soil conditions where the seed germinated may not prove adequate for the seedling to reach maturity.

Fungal infections, these are a very common cause of seedling death as the plant is at its most vugrable
