How do I undo CTRL-Z in Linux?

What does it mean when Ctrl C stops a job?
Notably “Stopped” means that a job is still alive but that its ability to process anything has been held (it is not given any time on the CPU to process anything). This is effectively a “Pause” or “Suspended” state, although that is not the correct technical term. Ctrl C does not “stop” a job, it cancels or kills it.
