Question
A seed is provided with all the conditions necessary for germination. Yet it fails to germinate. Explain.
Short Note
Solution
This is because the seed is in a state of dormancy. In this case, even if all the favorable conditions are provided, the seed remains in a state of apparent inactivity and only germinates after a definite time has elapsed.
