What are you… doing here?

Is the soil from outside? If so, that will not cut it for indoor plants. You need potting soil that has added amendments such as perlite to help the roots receive oxygen.

The soil looks compact and lumpy.You need to make a soil mix suitable for your plant type. Start by adding perlite, coco peat for water retention, maybe a slow release fertilizer like Basacote or vermicompost if you don’t wish to use fertilizer. If this is too confusing, you can even get a soil mix suitable for your plant from the superstore.
The soil looks dry and I wonder why given you’ve been watering every day. Read up or research on YT about the plant you’re looking to grow to know the appropriate watering frequency.
It’s a learning curve we’ve all gone through at some point, but researching and reading up makes it way more easier and fun.

Can you be clear about what you are attempting to grow?

I can tell you right now it’s the soil and probably a bit of overwatering

I know that where you live the soil offered by plant shops doesn’t look like what we would see in Europe or the United States.
Tiny sprouts do better when they’re kept in very small containers, and the soil is kept moist.
It’s a great time to experiment! If you got more seed you can try putting them in smaller containers until they grow a larger root system. Remember that the plant needs more water when it gets more light
