Morphology
ambisextrous + nature
The key constituent 'ambisextrous' is a non-standard, likely coined form not found in dictionaries, so its internal structure and intended sense are unclear to learners; although 'ambi-' can hint at 'both', the unfamiliar or irregular formation (and possible confusion with 'ambidextrous') prevents a predictable interpretation. Because one of the constituents is unknown/ambiguous and the whole phrase relies on that unclear coinage, a B1 learner who only knows the listed constituent meanings would not reliably derive the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Ambisextrous nature may come from combining ambi- (meaning 'both') and dexterous (meaning 'skillful'), creating the image of someone who can work well on either side or in different tasks. That's why it now means being able to adapt easily to different roles or functions.
