This is Zyra's own plan; across 3,204 pooled games the lane is leaning Zyra.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1ZyraYuumi has no CC and no early carry protection, so your level-1 seed control is uncontested.
Level 2ZyraYour level-2 W-E-Q onto her ADC wins outright since she can't peel a root or punish the windup.
Level 3ZyraLevel 3 you keep bursting her exposed carry every time she detaches to Q-poke.
Levels 4-5ZyraAt 4-5 she still can't stop your E-root all-ins, so you dictate every trade.
Level 6ZyraHer level-6 R is a poke-heal channel, not engage, while your Stranglethorns converts picks — you stay ahead.
First itemZyraFirst-item your seed-Q burst chunks her carry faster than she can shield, snowballing prio.
Two+ itemsZyraTwo-plus items your lockdown hard-counters a no-CC enabler; rooting her attached carry wins fights.

How to beat Yuumi as Zyra: the early game

You dominate levels 1-3. Yuumi brings zero CC and no way to punish your plant windups, so a level-2 W-E-Q onto her ADC — especially when she detaches to throw Prowling Projectile (Q) — either wins the trade or forces her to attach and abandon her own poke. Seed the lane to shove her carry off CS, and remember she can't stop a root, so every all-in you commit is a free chunk. The only thing to respect is her sustain, so trade in bursts that outpace her W heal rather than slow pokes. She cannot be hit while attached, so seed the ground their carry has to hold and root him instead. Let the plants punish him for standing on it, keep your own ADC pushing the wave, and let the accumulated damage rather than a single trade decide the lane.
