The full form 叢(􀝈) cóng ‘gather/collect; collected/thick bush/jungle’ combines 丵(􀝅) ‘thick bush/vegetation’, and 取(􀠭) qǔ ‘take’ (phonetic).
+
The simple-form character 丛 cóng ‘crowd/collection’ (5 strokes) is an abbrev. of the full-form character 叢 (18 strokes), replacing the top part of the full form 业 (5 strokes) with 丛 (5 strokes), and omitting the rest (13 strokes).
The simple form 丛 is much simpler, with only 从 cóng ‘follow’ (phonetic), over 一 a line; 从 does sound like a better modern phonetic than the old phonetic 取.
+
Note: 丛 is a special variant form of the component 业; the first part  (4 strokes) of the full-form 叢 becomes 从 cóng (4 strokes), and the bottom stroke of 业 is the bottom stroke of 丛.
“To gather 丵 bushes. A bushy place, crowded; a collection, to collect” —Wieger.
+
Note: 业 is the simplified form (and top part) of 業 yè ‘commerce/industry’; to abbrev. 叢 the distinctive form 丛 was invented, with 从 cóng (phonetic); cf. 𦫳/𠁥 (卝/从), 众.
Compare: 聚(􁙭) jù ‘gather’, in which 取 is phonetic.

The Shuōwén Seal form of 叢(􀝈) cóng ‘gather/collect; collected/thick bush/jungle’ combines 丵(􀝅) ‘thick bush/vegetation’, and 取(􀠭) qǔ ‘take’ (phonosemantic).
Compare: 众/眾: 众(􁙫㐺), 眾(􁙬𥅫) zhòng ‘crowd’.
+
Note: Today 取 qǔ in the full form 叢 seems like a poor phonetic, compared to 从 cóng in the simple form.
 +
Compare: 叢(􀝈) cóng ← MC /dzuŋ/; 聚(􁙭) jù ← MC /dzjuoʔ/dzjuos/; (􀠭) qǔ ← MC /tshjuoʔ/tshuʔ/ (SBGY).

Compare: 聚(􁙭) jù ‘gather’, in which 取(􀠭) qǔ (phonosemantic).
