Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Dormancy is a state of the seed characterized by low metabolic activity, desiccation tolerance, and insensitiveness to germination signals. Seed dormancy is based on an innate mechanism for preventing the germination before the arrival of the favorable environmental conditions for development.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are actually two types of dormancy during the winter. One is called endo-dormancy. In endo-dormancy, the plant will not grow even under good, warm, growing conditions. Endo is a Greek word meaning inside. In endo-dormancy, something inside the plants is inhibiting growth.
