Morphology
The phrase is fully compositional: 'licorice' names the plant and 'root' names the underground organ, so together they literally denote the root of the licorice plant. This straightforward noun+noun combination is cross-linguistically common and follows regular English compounding, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the meaning.
Etymology
Licorice root comes from people long ago chewing the sweet root of the licorice plant to sweeten drinks and to help with coughs. Because the root was used both for 'flavoring' and as a simple 'medicine', the name now means the plant root used in candy, drinks, and home remedies.
