Answer:

Hibernation is a state of minimal activity and metabolic depression in endotherms. Hibernation is a seasonal heterothermy characterized by low body-temperature, slow breathing and heart-rate, and low metabolic rate. It most commonly occurs during winter months.

A bulb is an underground storage organ formed from the plant stem and leaves. During the growing season, the plant uses the food stored in the fleshy scales. At the end of the season, the leaves divert food into new scale leaves for the next season.

In both explanations the animal and/or plant are preserving energy or food until the end of a winter, or end of a season.

Hope that helped, if you have any more questions feel free to comment.
