Solution:

Gibberellin is responsible for mobilization of storage food during seed germination. After getting moisture, the embryo of seed releases gibberellins Gibberellins induce the alemone layer of endosperm to produce enzymes (e.g. a-amylase). These enzymes digest stored starch to mobilize sugars for germination.
