Explanation:

Germination is practically the very first step of every seed-producing plant. It is the process whereby seeds sprout or begin to grow. Germination requires certain conditions to be met in order to occur. This conditions include presence of moisture in the soil etc.

The water is absorbed by the seed helps to soften the seed coat, which protects the seed from damage. The seed coat ruptures, causing the emergence of growth structures from the seed. In general, seeds need water to activate their dormant physiology. Hence, the moisture content of the seed must not be lower than 9%.
