Why is it feminine?

Plantilla is feminine because it derives from Latin "plantilla," the diminutive form of "planta" (sole of the foot), which inherited the feminine gender from its parent noun and retained it through the Romance language evolution. The "-illa" diminutive suffix in Spanish typically preserved the gender of the base word, so the feminine "planta" produced the feminine "plantilla."
