Solution

A fresh seed generally doesn't sprout due to the process of seed dormancy. Seed dormancy is the phenomenon where the seed does not germinate for a specific period of time, even if all the favorable conditions are provided. This is a mechanism developed in plants to survive adverse conditions and to ensure proper dispersal of seeds before they germinate.
