Because seeds will not germinate in arid soil.
Because water is an essential requirement for a living plant.
A papaya has many seeds. Each papaya seed can grow into a new tree. However, that does not happen. Why?

Kentucky coffee tree takes a long time to germinate because of the thick seed head. If you take a file, score the seed head and it will sprout faster. This is called scarification.
I think that is is 2 weeks. However I am not sure!
Black alder trees can reproduce through seed production and dispersal. Female catkins containing seeds develop on the tree, which are then dispersed by wind or water. The seeds can germinate in moist soil and grow into new trees.
An oak tree will drop a seed and if that seed falls of fertile soil and is covered and watered it will usually germinate. It will sprout roots and a plant that will eventulally grow as big as its predesesor.

Yes, an apple seed is alive because it contains living cells that can germinate and grow into a new apple tree under suitable conditions.
The tree seed that only germinates after a fire is the serotinous cone of the lodgepole pine. The heat from the fire causes the cones to open and release the seeds, allowing them to germinate in the newly cleared landscape.
