Many seeds need nothing more than moisture to sprout, and the other nutrients they need for initial growth are within them. So they can sprout and grow a bit on damp cotton or wool. The problem is that after initial growth, they need to get some nutrients cotton or wool will not provide. If the nutrients were supplied artificially, they would continue to grow. If not, many species would not do so well.
