A lowest-mass star, often referred to as a red dwarf, does not have enough mass to ignite helium fusion in its core, which is a crucial process for becoming a giant. Instead, red dwarfs can remain in the main sequence for billions of years, gradually burning hydrogen. When they exhaust their hydrogen, they typically cool and dim rather than expanding into a giant, as they lack the necessary core temperature and pressure for further fusion processes. Thus, they evolve differently from more massive stars that can become giants.

Which is denser a dwarf star or a giant star?
A dwarf star is denser than a giant star. Dwarf stars have a higher density due to their smaller size and higher mass compared to giant stars. Giant stars have larger volumes and lower densities as they have expanded and become less dense towards the end of their life cycle.
