Hi! I think your question is asking which plants germinate easily. If you’re referring mainly to germination speed, some good options are:
•Beans (Lima beans often germinate in under 3 weeks)
•Radishes (especially Cherry Belle; they sprout very quickly)
•Tomatoes (usually germinate in under 2 weeks)
All of these germinate quickly under basic conditions like moisture, temperature and adequate light. Depending on what your experiment is about, you may also need to consider other factors such as whether you’re growing indoors or outdoors, the current temperature, and any specific variables you want to test.
Here are some helpful guides:
•Lima beans: https://seedsavers.org/grow-lima-bean/
•Radishes: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... dish-seeds

Hope this helps! If your question is about something else, please let us know.
