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.

Why do seeds not grow in a packet?
Seeds need moisture to germinate, and seed packets are dry.
If a dry seed is placed in dry cotton and keep it on a window sill will the seed germinate in 5 days and reason?
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.
What happens when seeds don't germinate?
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.
Why do seed needed wet soil to germinate?
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.
What would happen if the root system did not have water when the plant was a seed?
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.
Why a soaked seed always germinate but not a dry one?
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.
What is the difference between a dry seed and a soaked seed?
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.

Do soaked beans grow faster than dry beans?
Soaked beans generally do germinate faster than dry beans because soaking helps to rehydrate the seed, activating enzymes that begin the germination process. This pre-soaking reduces the time it takes for the beans to absorb moisture from the soil and start sprouting. However, once planted, both soaked and dry beans will grow at similar rates under optimal conditions. Overall, soaking merely speeds up the initial germination phase.
What is the difference between dry corn and soaked corn?
Dry corn is dry and soaked corn is wet.

How do you sow cleome seed?
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.

Do you have to dry the seed after it come out of the cherry before you plant it?
Yes, it is advisable to dry the seed after it is removed from the cherry before planting. Fresh seeds can have a higher moisture content, which may lead to mold or rot during the germination process. Allowing the seeds to dry for a short period helps improve their viability and promotes better germination rates. However, be careful not to let them dry out completely or for too long, as overly dry seeds may lose their ability to germinate.
