transplants
Moves living tissue
Transplants covers both the medical procedure and the broader act of moving something from one place to another.
Surgeons transplant organs like kidneys and hearts from donors to recipients; gardeners transplant seedlings from pots to garden beds.
As a noun, a transplant is either the thing moved or a person who has relocated: She's a New York transplant living in Austin now.
The verb emphasizes uprooting and reestablishing, whether tissue, plants, or people.
