Morphology

implantation = implant (transparent) = im + plant + ation

The meaning 'act of planting or placing in the ground' follows directly from 'implant' + '-ation' and is therefore transparent.

Etymology

Implantation comes from in- 'in' and plant 'to plant'. This is the literal sense of the word: putting or 'planting' something into the ground, like when you plant a tree.
