Morphology
The meaning 'a plant grown intentionally by humans' is directly and compositionally derived from 'cultivated' (intentionally tended/managed) + 'plant' (a living organism). This straightforward ADJ+NOUN combination follows common cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Cultivated plant comes from the image of a gardener who cultivates—digging, planting and caring for a plant so it grows well. So a cultivated plant is a plant people grow 'on purpose' for food, beauty, or other use.
