vegetative = vegetation (transparent) = veget + ative
The meaning is directly derived from 'vegetation' with the suffix '-ative' indicating 'relating to'.
Etymology
Vegetative meaning 'relating to plants' comes from the same root as vegetation and vegetable, which mean 'to grow' and describe plant life. So vegetative growth or cover simply means the plants or plant parts that grow in an area.
