Seeds wait to germinate until three needs are met: water, correct temperature (warmth), and a good location (such as in soil). During its early stages of growth, the seedling relies upon the food supplies stored with it in the seed until it is large enough for its own leaves to begin making food through photosynthesis.All seeds need water, oxygen, and proper temperature in order to germinate.When a seed is exposed to the proper conditions, water and oxygen are taken in through the seed coat.
