As the seed matures, its water content is reduced and seed becomes relatively dry (10-15% moisture by mass). The general metabolic activity of the embryo slows down. The embryo may enter a state of inactivity called dormancy. When favourable condition are available (adequate moisture, oxygen, suitable temperature) seeds germinate.
