Shifting to soil
Transplanting is moving something from one place to another where it will continue to grow or function.
Gardeners transplant seedlings from pots to garden beds.
Surgeons transplant organs from donors to recipients.
People transplant themselves when they relocate: After transplanting to the city, she missed her hometown.
The word emphasizes both removal and re-establishment.
