Why is Go phase called the quiesent phase?

Dear student,
The Go phase is called as the quiescent stage because in this stage the cell is neither diving nor it is preparing itself to divide.It is also called as the distinct quiescent stage because this step occurs outside the cell cycle phases.For example, the nerve cell and heart muscle cells enters the Go phase when they attain maturity or when they become differentiated.Another example is of multinucleated muscle cells that dk not further undergo cytokinesis and enter into the Go phase.
Regards
