Morphology

stocked + with

The meaning is directly compositional: 'stocked' (provided/supplied) combined with the preposition 'with' (indicating what accompanies it) yields 'supplied/containing X', which a learner who knows both words can infer. This participle + with pattern is common cross-linguistically and follows regular English grammar, so it should be immediately understandable to a B1 learner.

Etymology

Stocked with comes from old shops that kept a stock of goods on their shelves. When the shelves were full, they were described as stocked with items, so today stocked with means 'containing or supplied with a large quantity of something'.
