runner
cyclic period when a plant rests; its growth processes is greatly slowed down. This
occurs in many species by the coming of winter as days grow shorter and
temperatures begin to drop. the period ends in spring when the plant is exposed to
higher temps for an extended number of hours. ________________ is a plant's safe gaurd
