Morphology

stalked = stalk (transparent) = stalk + ed

Regular adjectival formation from 'stalk' + '-ed' meaning 'having or bearing a stalk', which is directly derivable by learners familiar with 'stalk'.

Etymology

Stalked comes from stalk, which means 'stem' or the thin part that holds a leaf or flower. So, something described as stalked literally grows 'on a stalk', lifted up by a little stem above the plant.
