[ELI5] How do seeds know when they’re in dirt?
In: Earth Science
Interaction with their outer layer.
E.g. a combination or moisture differences, light differences, pressures differences.
However, they don’t know that it’s dirt and if you replicate the conditions you need outside of dirt the seed will still sprout.
For many seed I believe it’s just a prolonged contact with moisture that is required.
