Morphology
The compound 'snake plant' is a descriptive name: a plant that looks like or is associated with a snake (long, narrow, rigid leaves). This visual, compositional relation is directly derivable from 'snake' + 'plant' rather than idiomatic or metaphorical, so learners who know the constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Snake plant is named for its long, stiff leaves that look like a snake's body or tongue and is also called 'mother-in-law's tongue'. So today snake plant means a common house plant with tall, snake-like leaves that needs little water.
