Morphology
haematopoietic + stem + cell
The meaning is directly compositional: 'haematopoietic' (blood-forming) modifies 'stem cell' (an undifferentiated cell), yielding ‘a stem cell that produces blood cells’. This modifier+noun pattern is regular and cross-linguistically common, so a learner who knows the constituent meanings can infer the MWE.
Etymology
Hematopoietic stem cell literally means a 'blood-making' stem cell: hematopoietic means making blood and a stem cell is a simple cell that can become many different cells. These cells live in bone marrow, so the name explains why they 'give rise to' all the blood cells such as red cells, white cells, and platelets.
