The Seed is the Word of God

Does the Word of God fail and die?
The very parable tells us the seed are humans.
Matthew 13:18-23
“Hear then the parable of the sower: When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown along the path. As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy, yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away. As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. As for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty.”
How can their be no root in the Word of God? There cannot be. But, there can be no root in the human who is dead in his trespasses and sins.
The passage makes it clear that the seeds are humans who either die in their sins or who produce faith. God is the Sovereign Seed Thrower.
