in literal terms this is false because the air is full of ocean microbes and spores that are launched by waves crashing and make it into the upper atmosphere (these are needed as nucleation sites for raindrops to form), meaning anywhere with water can be colonized and eventually become a stable ecosystem through succession... if you mean seeds in the literal sense most only need heat to germinate and some have root waste byproducts that are adapted to promote bacteria and fungi that give them an advantage in completely barren areas like nitrogen fixing... over time a barren area will select for species that can survive in it as a base and mature into a more complex ecosystem phase connect
