In terms of flora, many trees lie dormant during winter, i.e. not growing, just like seeds remain dormant until they are given the stimulus to grow (soil, water, sunlight).
In medical terms, a dormant virus is one that is not actively attacking the host's system, but it is present in their physiology.
A dormant volcano is an active volcano that is not erupting at present but has the possibility to erupt again. An example of a dormant volcano is Mauna Kea in Hawaii.

∙ 10y agoIt is something that was active in some way, but is now inactive with the potential to start up again in the future. Like a volcano that was erupting years ago but now is not. But it could erupt again in the future.
