Morphology
The meaning 'to stand up on its hind legs' is directly derived from combining 'rise' (to move upward) with the directional particle 'up' (to a higher position); this motion-compositional pattern is transparent and predictable. Although the animal-specific sense (rearing) is a more specialized context, the core upward/standing meaning would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Rise up comes from the simple picture of things moving from the bottom to the top of water. Bubbles or oil will 'rise up' to the surface, so the phrase means 'to move upwards' or 'come to the surface'.
