Root Explanation
Reimplanted → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "implant" (from Latin "implantare", meaning to plant in). The word "reimplanted" means to plant something again, typically referring to the surgical procedure of placing an organ or tissue back into the body.
Memory Tip
Think of 'planting' something 'again' — 're-' means again, and 'implant' means to plant. This helps you remember that 'reimplanted' refers to the act of planting something back in.
