Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward adjective+noun composition where 'common' (widespread/ordinary) modifies 'bamboo', so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to a widespread or ordinary type of bamboo. The meaning follows normal descriptive patterns found across languages, so its referential sense is immediately comprehensible even if detailed botanical features are not inferred.
Etymology
Common bamboo names a bamboo people saw often: common means 'seen often' and bamboo is the tall, fast-growing plant with thin green-and-yellow stems. Because this plant grows quickly and was used for fences, building and privacy screens, the phrase came to mean the species that is widely grown and useful.
