Morphology

plantal = plant (transparent) = plant + al

The adjective is a standard and easily interpretable derivation from 'plant' with the suffix '-al', meaning 'relating to plants'.

Etymology

Plantal comes from the simple word plant plus the ending -al, which means 'relating to'. So, plantal simply means 'of or about plants', which is why we say things like 'plantal biology' or 'plantal motifs'.
