Answer:

they can remain dormant on non-living surfaces

Step-by-step explanation:

Viruses are different from bacteria in that they can remain dormant on non-living surfaces.

Viruses usually multiply within the cells of the living host but bacteria don't. They can reproduce on any non-living surface including rocks, plastic and many others. Viruses can remain dormant for a very long time and attack a host when they come into contact with one.
