Dormancy is another name for resting or sleeping. The plant goes into a self-induced, vegetative state - similar to suspended animation.
This occurs in various plants and in various stages of plant growth.
For example most seasonal bulbs have and over wintering stage, where they lie dormant so that they can survive cold weather and frost, the same applies to deciduous trees - they shed their leaves and go dormant during the winter.
Dormancy is also found in seeds, where the seed can lay dormant for months or years (using little or no food reserves) until the conditions are right for germination.
Dormancy is normally controlled by naturally occuring growth regulators within the plant (or cell).
