根植 means 'to be rooted in' or 'to take root' — it's a formal, often figurative verb used for ideas, traditions, values, or practices that are deeply established in a culture, society, or person's mind. It's more literary than 扎根 (also 'take root') and typically appears in written or formal speech, not casual conversation. The pattern is 根植于 + noun (be rooted in something).
