Standard past-participle/adjective formation from the verb 'sprout' with a directly derivable meaning.

Etymology

Sprouted comes from the simple image of a sprout — a small green shoot that 'pushes up' from the ground. So if something is sprouted, it has just 'begun to grow' and come out of the soil.
