prereproductive
Not yet fertile
Prereproductive describes the life stage before an organism is capable of reproduction.
In biology, it refers to the period of growth and development preceding sexual maturity: prereproductive juveniles, the prereproductive phase of the life cycle.
The term appears in ecology and population studies when distinguishing age classes.
