Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the most important process in germination?
A
Water
B
Soil
C
Air
D
Hydroponics
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Water dissolves the minerals in the soil so that they become available to the seed. Because water has a neutral pH, it balances the soil pH and makes it favorable for seed germination. Imbibition of water causes the seed coat to swell and allows the cells of the embryo to rehydrate.

Detailed explanation-2: -When a seed absorbs water, it is called Imbibition. Water enters the seed either through a tiny opening in the seed called the micropyle or through the seed coat. The micropyle is also the site at which the pollen tube enters the ovule during fertilization.

Detailed explanation-3: -Light, water, oxygen, and temperature are essential conditions for seed germination.
