Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'functional' (relating to functions) modifies 'genomics' (the study of genomes), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer this refers to the area of genomics concerned with functions of genes. The noun‑noun compound follows regular English formation and has clear cross‑linguistic parallels, making the sense immediately derivable from its parts.
Etymology
Functional genomics joins functional (what something does) and genomics (the study of all genes). Imagine scientists checking every part of a big machine to see each part's job and how it works with others, so functional genomics means 'studying what genes do and how they work together'.
