This does not mean they have the kekkei genkai that are the combinations thereof. Personally I think somebody just forgot that, saw she was slated to have earth and water, went 'that makes wood, right?' and forgot about the kekkei genkai part of that.

It wasn't just because we were give her chakra natures it was because it was stated she was able to perform Wood Release: Verdure Technique and Wood Release: Vegetation Barrier.
