Do Seeds obtain their energy (food) directly from the soil as soon as they are planted?

No, they actually have a bit of food stored up in the seed. If you look at a bean, you will find that there is some extra substance in it. That is the energy it uses to start growing its roots and stem.

I hope this helps!
