To Resemble
To Look Like
intransitive verb, ichidan verb
Because the hiragana ends with an う sound, you know this word is a verb. The kanji itself means resemble so the verb vocab version is to resemble or to look like.
にる
You should have learned this reading with the kanji, but here's a mnemonic to help you, just in case:
What are you trying to resemble?? Is that... oh no. A knee (に) face resemble surgery, where you make your face look like your knee and vice versa? Do you know how dangerous that surgery is?

At first I thought she looked like her mother, but then she started to look like her father too!
このズボン、私がずっと探してたズボンに似てる。
These pants look like the ones I've been trying to find for a while.
お前が彼女の兄貴だって？嘘つけ！全然似てないじゃねえか。
