Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *mus) : semantic 艸 (“grass”) + phonetic 戊 (OC *mus).

Applying this character to mean “cyclopentadiene” in organic chemistry results from the decomposition of the character as an ideogrammic compound (會意) : 艸 (“radical for aromatic compounds”) + 戊 (“five-carbon ring”), since the conjugate base of cyclopentadiene (cyclopentadienyl anion) is aromatic.
