After a seed has been produced, it often has a time during which no growth occurs

Seed Dormancy

Explanation:

In the last stages of seed maturation, the seed dehydrates and the embryo, which is surrounded by a food supply enters dormancy, that it stops growing and its metabolism nearly ceases. The embryo and it's food supply are enclosed by a hard protective seed coat formed from the integument of the ovule.

Dormancy is a condition of extremely low metabolic rate and suspension of growth and development.

Some seeds species as soon as they are in suitable environment. Others remain dormant, even if sown in a favorable place until an environmental cue causes them to break dormancy.

emerging idea only occurs as a raw idea that could appear out of nowhere. meanwhile, to reach scientific consensus , that idea must be structured and tested over and over again through various experiments. the scientific consensus transforms the raw idea into idea that is more reliable through the process of scientific elimination.
