the wf_activity field gets populated when approval is generated for record.
It's an internal field and you need not worry on how it's handled etc by platform.
check this for more explanation
Is wf_activity reference safe to use?

HI @Ankur Bawiskar ,
I want to know the configuration , because in my case this OOTB behaviour is not happening, as this activity is not getting empty so next time when I am again requesting for approval in authorize stage , it is moving the rejected approval as requested.
so it would be a great help if you can suggest any point to diagnose the issue .

By default that field is inactive in fresh instance. So I believe it's some other issue in your case.
but check how that field works in the below link
