biotech = biotechnology (semi-transparent) = bio + tech
Biotech is a common clipping of biotechnology, so the biological-technology connection is clear but the shortened form is lexicalized.

Biotech joins bio- ('life') and tech ('technology' or 'tools'), so it means 'life technology'. Think of it as using living things like tiny factories to make medicines or other useful products.
