Does validation rules or workflow counts for SOQL queries(100) governor limits?

Hello Everyone,

In one of the apex class I am hitting the SOQL queries governor limit. But I have not written any SOQL statements in it.
For the below code I am getting  Number of Queries used in this Apex code so far in updateStoreStatus: 100.

Code:-

 List<Account> updateAccounts = new List<Account>();
        List<Id> updateAccountIds = new List<Id>();
        // Check if the TD Status changed from closed to open or pending to open        for(Account newAccount : newAccounts.values()) {
            if( (newAccount.TD_Status__c == 'Open') && 
                (oldAccounts.get(newAccount.id).store_Status__c == 'Closed' || oldAccounts.get(newAccount.id).store_Status__c == 'Pending' )) {
                    updateAccountIds.add(newAccount.id);
            }
        }
        System.debug(LoggingLevel.INFO,'UpdateStoreList Size' + updateAccountIds.size());

Can someone please help how this code giving me 100 SOQL execution.?

NOTE:- If I check logs I can see lots of workflow and validation rules are executing.

Thanks in advance.

It look like your code become recursive some where that is why this issue is coming

HI Amit,

But I am not seeing any such condition where the code becomes recursive.
One more things when I check logs I see lots of validation rules/workflows executed before  this method. Does this leads to increasing the SOQL governor limits. If yes Can you please help how to overcome this error.
