Explanation

Because the hiragana ends with an sound, you know this word is a verb. The kanji itself means rich so the verb vocab version would be to be rich in, or to be abundant in.

富む is a relatively formal word that means having a lot of something that is noteworthy or valuable. While it can literally mean to be wealthy, it's much more commonly used for qualities or characteristics, like 才能に富む (rich in talent), 経験に富む (rich in experience), or 変化に富む (full of changes).
