seedling, sapling, shoot
苗 centers on a young plant at an early stage of growth: a seedling, sapling, or shoot that has just emerged from the ground.
苗 combines 艹 (grass/plant) with 田 (field), depicting a young plant growing in a field. This is a straightforward semantic compound.
The top 艹 is a plant, and the bottom 田 is a field. Imagine a tiny green seedling pushing up through the soil of a field: that's 苗.
For ビョウ, picture a seedling growing in a field that looks like a tiny bow (ビョウ) tied with a ribbon. The bow shape cues ビョウ while the seedling sprouts.
