Sleeping Giants
Some seeds can stay asleep (dormant) for hundreds or even thousands of years, then still sprout when given water & light.

Seeds come with their own lunchbox
Many seeds contain a built-in food supply called cotyledons (aka the 1st lil’ leaves) that nourishes the baby plant until it can make its own food through photosynthesis.

Seeds sense light and temperature
Many won’t germinate unless the environment feels “just right” — like the right season, depth in the soil, or amount of sunlight. Wizardry.
