Morphology
The phrase is directly compositional: 'organic' (relating to living matter or inherent) combined with 'process' (a sequence of steps) yields the meaning of a natural or inherent process in living organisms. This adjective+noun pattern is straightforward and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words can reasonably infer the meaning.
Etymology
Organic process comes from the simple image that organic means from living things and a process is a series of actions. So it now refers to a series of natural actions that happen 'inside living things', like digestion or growth.
