The whole lot is transplanted into a cool bed (8)

I believe the answer is:

caboodle

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the whole lot' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'transplanted into a cool bed' is the wordplay.
'a cool bed' anagrams to 'CABOODLE'.
However, I am not sure how this is indicated.

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for caboodle that I've seen before include "The whole kit and ..., the lot" , "Group" , "Crowd, collection" , ""The whole ___" - everything" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
