The organizational sense is a metaphorical extension of the physical 'silo' meaning (isolation), so the derivation is understandable but not strictly literal.
Etymology
Siloing comes from the farm word silo, a pit or tall container used to 'store' grain apart from other crops. Imagine each team locked in its own silo and not talking to the others; that image explains why siloing means keeping departments or information 'separate' and not sharing.
