Embedded in botany? (6)
I believe the answer is:
rooted
'embedded' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rooted that I've seen before include "Deeply felt" , "(Of new cutting) firmly established" , "Frivolousness" , "Stuck in one place, like plant" , "Stuck to the spot" .)
