It is a verb that is not used with a direct object. For example,
- I grew up in Spain
To grow up in that sentence does not have a direct object, so it is intransitive. However, in :
- I grew potatoes in my vegetable garden.
the verb to grow it is transitive, because "potatoes" is the direct object.
