Morphology

re-created = re-create (transparent) = re + create + ed

This is a regular participial/adjectival formation from the verb 're-create' with a directly predictable meaning.

Etymology

Re-created comes from the prefix re- meaning 'again' and create meaning 'to make', the same part you see in creation or creator. So re-created simply means 'made again', which is why we use it for things that are rebuilt or copied after being lost or destroyed.
