What is hibernation and how is it useful to an organism?

Solution

The inactive or resting stage in some animals to conserve energy during winter is called hibernation. They come out of hibernation when the conditions are favourable for them.
During winter, temperatures are low and food resources are scarce. Hibernation during this time can help animals conserve energy and survive winter more easily.
