Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: Solution: Only living seeds can germinate which require optimum conditions like moisture, oxygen and temperature.
Detailed explanation-2: -Water, temperature, oxygen, and light (only for some seeds) are the essential conditions for the germination process.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Unsurprisingly, warm-season crops, like tomatoes, zucchini, and basil, require more heat to germinate than cool-season crops like lettuce, spinach, and radishes.
