Left: tree 木, right: to collect 娄 (Rice grains 米 are by women 女 been: collected.)
Mnemonic
You need wood for this and you put the rice upstairs (= upper floor, thus protected from e.g. rats), while you yourself 女 are downstairs (= ground floor): in the multi-storey building.
This radical is used with the meaning "to collect", because helpful mnemonics become possible, as for example with " to collect 搂", which is ethymological not correct.
