Morphology
The phrase is straightforwardly compositional: 'physiological' (relating to biological processes) modifies 'state' (condition), yielding 'the condition of bodily functions.' This is a standard adjective+noun formation present cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to infer the meaning.
Etymology
Physiological state comes from the simple idea of watching how the body's systems work at a particular time. The word physiological points to body functions like breathing or heartbeat and state means the condition they are in, so the phrase means 'how the body is doing' right now.
