种植
zhòngzhí · HSK 4
grow
🌱 种 = seed/plant + 植 = plant/grow; doubled 'plant' for emphasis
种 means seed or to sow; 植 means to plant or grow upright (the 木 tree radical on the left signals plants). Together they form a compound verb meaning to cultivate or grow plants.
种 — grain radical 禾 + heavy 重 (phonetic)
种 is a semantic-phonetic compound: 禾 (grain) gives the meaning, while 重 supplies the sound. Originally it referred to seeds and the act of sowing grain, then broadened to 'kind' or 'type' (a category, like a strain of seed). In simplified Chinese it also absorbed the traditional 種.
