Do you mean why is it important to cover seeds? If so, not all seeds must be covered - some MUST have light to germinate. Ones that are covered are covered for 3 main reasons, one or more of which may apply - to hide them from seed predators, such as birds, they require dark to germinate and to stop any developing root pushing the seed up, off the compost, rather than the root penetrating into the compost.
