Morphology
The meaning 'a product made from plant material' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'plant' (a photosynthetic organism) with 'product' (an outcome or thing produced). This noun–noun composition is cross-linguistically common (e.g. 'producto vegetal', 'produit végétal') and follows predictable English compounding patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Plant product shows a simple, literal idea: a plant is the source and a product is something people use from it. So a plant product means 'made from plant material', like food, fibers or oils that come from plants.
