Hot water can kill plant seeds because it can denature the proteins and enzymes essential for seed germination. Exposing seeds to high temperatures can disrupt cellular membranes and cause irreversible damage to vital seed structures, preventing germination. Additionally, hot water can also stimulate the release of compounds that inhibit seed germination.
