种 zhòng "to plant" + 植 zhí "to plant": both "to plant", i.e. to grow or cultivate crops/plants. Polyphone: 种 is zhòng "to plant" (种植, 种地) but zhǒng "kind/seed" (物种); here zhòng. The 植 is in 植物 (plant) and 植树 (to plant trees). Distinguish 种植 (to grow crops) from 栽培 (zāipéi, to cultivate, also of nurturing talent).
