A soaked seed germinates because the water activates metabolic processes essential for growth, such as enzyme activation and nutrient absorption. Water also softens the seed coat, allowing the embryo to break through. In contrast, a dry seed lacks the moisture necessary for these processes, which prevents germination and the initiation of growth. Thus, hydration is crucial for successful seed germination.
Seeds need moisture to germinate, and seed packets are dry.
Well have you ever tried it before? If you have tried you'll find out it will not even grow one bit as seeds need water,air and warmth to grow. Its the same as leaving a seed on a window sill and waiting for it to grow.
99% of fresh seed will germinate; however, sometimes there are plants which either produce infertile seed which will not germinate. Alternatively the seed which has been sown is very old and has already died or has been damaged by insects or other storage pests.
Seeds need wet soil to germinate because it softens the outer seed coat, allowing water to penetrate and initiate the germination process. Additionally, moisture is required to activate enzymes that break down stored nutrients within the seed, providing energy for the growth of the emerging plant. Adequate moisture also helps in the expansion of the seed tissues, promoting seedling growth.
A seed would not have roots to start with until it germinates. If it then did not have enough water it would dry up and die. If it was still an ungerminated seed, it may stay in that state for a long time before it will germinate when there is sufficient water to start the germination process.
Soaking a seed will soften the outer layers of the seed and provide moisture to the seed. This triggers a growth response from the seed because it indicates the presence of water which the plant will need to grow. Without the moisture, if the seed germinated it would not have the moisture to grow.
A dry seed has not absorbed water and is in a dormant state, while a soaked seed has absorbed water and has started the germination process. When a seed becomes soaked, it swells as it absorbs water, triggering biochemical changes that allow it to start sprouting.

Dry corn is dry and soaked corn is wet.

I have found mixing seed with alittle sand or dry dirt, then spreading over cutivated ground worked well. Once cleome seeds get somewhere they will always be there! Let the flowers dry on the stalks. You will see little seed pods, they will dry and open leaving there seeds.

They are antonyms.
One key innovation that helped seed-bearing plants radiate to high and dry environments is the development of seeds with protective coatings, allowing them to withstand harsh conditions. This adaptation enabled plants to disperse and germinate in diverse environments, increasing their chances of survival.
