Morphology

implant = plant (transparent) = im + plant

The prefix 'im-' denotes the action of embedding, which aligns with the biological process described.

Etymology

Implant comes from old parts in- 'into' and plant 'to put in the ground', so it originally meant 'to plant inside'. That is why doctors say an embryo 'implants' when it 'plants' itself into the womb wall.
