The idea of the pool is interesting, but I'm not sure that this looks like a pool.
There might be another element of mnemonics there - note the "hook" midway to the root.
A hook can sometimes be mnemonic (I think it probably is in some of the roots). In this case, I think the hook is where the old leaf fell off. It looks naturalistic.
If we can posit that the hook might be mnemonic, then one has to accept that the "puddle" might be mnemonic, as in "this is a plant that lives in wetlands and is often submerged".
