Morphology
line + of + merchandise
The meaning 'a particular type or range of products' is compositionally derived from 'line' (a product family or range) combined with 'merchandise' (products), with the preposition 'of' marking the relationship. This is a regular, cross-linguistically common noun-noun relationship, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words would readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Line of merchandise may come from shops that put similar items in a neat line on a shelf so customers could see the same merchandise together. That's why it now means 'a range of related products'.
