Sometimes it is desirable to determine if a package of seeds is viable or alive. The method is to place the seed on a damp base, paper towel, or kleenex and keep moist at a suitable temperature ( ~75F) until sprouting occurs or not. Can seeds grow submerged in water? Answer, No. Why? All seeds need oxygen to germinate, if submerged the seed is not getting the required oxygen. Hence no growth.
