Morphology

playroom = play + room (transparent) = play + room

The meaning is directly derived from 'play' + 'room': a room for play or recreation, which is obvious to learners.

Etymology

Playroom combines play ('to have fun') and room ('a space in a house'). So a playroom is a room set aside for children to 'play' and keep their toys.
