If kept in the refrigerator, what would cause the vegetables to rot?

I use whole-milk Greek yogurt and shredded cucumber. I don't
make a ton, but it lasts easily a few days in the fridge. All it
needs is a good stir to re-combine the whey back into the
mixture.

Granted, I only use it as a dressing on sandwiches. There's
a restaurant here in town that uses a very thick (and somewhat
bland, to my taste) tzatziki as a dipping sauce for chicken
breast kebab.

Dehydrated vegetables are just... eeww.
