Solution

Germination:

  1. The process through which a plant or other organism emerges from a seed or spore is referred to as germination.
  2. A fertilized ovule carrying the plant embryo is called a seed. It will develop into a new plant if the right growth conditions are present.
  3. Light is not necessary for a seed to germinate, no.
  4. The majority of seeds grow most effectively in the dark. Light, which is essential for seedling growth, may actually hinder the germination process.
  5. The three primary and necessary conditions for a seed to germinate are water, oxygen, and temperature.
  6. Thus, Light is not necessary for a seed to germinate.
