Virus lies dormant. It reproduces itself by letting the host cell copy its DNA during cell division.

Hello! For more explanations please see this.

Lysogenic Cycle

The lysogenic cycleis a viral mode of reproduction where it inserts its genome in the host's DNA, then remains dormant as time goes by. However, though it's dormant, it replicates itself by letting the host cell copy the virus' genetic material in cell division.
If the host cell divides, the viral genome is also copied, therefore replicating itself without exerting much effort and exhibiting dormancy.
