Answer:
The dormant seed has to absorb water to become active and start germination. Water makes the seed coat soft, which causes it to split. The seed absorbs water and swells. ... Seeds are likely to germinate better in ploughed soil because ploughing aerates the soil (adds air, and therefore oxygen to the soil).
