Wikipedia
anabiosis
Cryptobiosis or anabiosis is a metabolic state of life entered by an organism in response to adverse environmental conditions such as desiccation, freezing, and oxygen deficiency. In the cryptobiotic state, all measurable metabolic processes stop, preventing reproduction, development, and repair. When environmental conditions return to being hospitable, the organism will return to its metabolic state of life as it was prior to the cryptobiosis.

anabiosis
Anabiosis is a state of suspended animation or a temporary reduction in an organism's metabolic activity, typically a response to extreme environmental conditions, such as dehydration or cold temperatures. This process allows organisms to survive unfavorable conditions until their environment becomes suitable again. The term comes from Greek origins and literally means "returning to life."
