Abstract: Given a smooth target curve

X

, we explore the relationship between Gromov-Witten invariants of

X

relative to a smooth divisor and orbifold Gromov-Witten invariants of the

r

-th root stack along the divisor. We proved that relative invariants are equal to the

r^{0}

-coefficient of the corresponding orbifold Gromov-Witten invariants of

r

-th root stack for

r

sufficiently large. Our result provides a precise relation between relative and orbifold invariants of target curves generalizing the result of Abramovich-Cadman-Wise to higher genus invariants of curves. Moreover, when

r

is sufficiently large, we proved that relative stationary invariants of

X

are equal to the orbifold stationary invariants in all genera. Our results lead to some interesting applications: a new proof of genus zero equality between relative and orbifold invariants of

X

via localization; a new proof of the formula of Johnson-Pandharipande-Tseng for double Hurwitz numbers; a version of GW/H correspondence for stationary orbifold invariants.
