Seed embryo food storage

[cannafarian]

So when in nature a seed falls to the floor finds rain absorbs water, where the next day the sun would dry the ground for a week then rain again but a seed would root.

Would this be from stored seed foods that hold life for the dry period or a retarded germination that waits for the next rain to continue germination.
How volatile are seeds and what can thy do given a few hours a water then dried out and re-watered a week later.

Please don't post if you have an opinion looking for clear answers, looking at root system developments and natural soil to create a guide for a very raw and effective outdoor G-grow. That builds resistance and aggressive behaviors.

In nature seeds would fall and lay in the sun and have brief wet periods till rooted threw soil that may dry. Would the seed hold enough stored energy for roots to find water or be able to pause germination till more water comes.

What it all comes down to is given a few hours water and dried over a week and re watered would the roots be finding water or the seed self-sustaining, in nature rains are slowly introduced with light showers then intense rain as the session continues. early shower with dry gaps would kill seeds technically
but yet there size and survival capability's are astounding.

Who can brake the process down and show how thy cope with stored energy ect.. to understand how thy produce seeds in erratic conditions.

Well in nature except for some very tropical environments, the majority of the seeds do not drop out of the buds, if at all, until after the temperature drops enough to effectively kill off the plant. The seeds that do drop as well as the ones left in the bud will stay dormant through the colder months until the temperature rises again and triggers it to grow providing there is enough moisture present at that time. Although water is required, it is not the deciding factor as to when the plant begins growing again, it is the temperature. Usually this is in spring when the grounds are still saturated from the winter thaw and spring rains. Once it begins it's life cycle, there is no turning back, it either has enough water to live or it dies.
I'm not sure if this is exactly what you were asking for, so if not I apologize, only trying to help
