الصَّدْعِ which cleaves open
This noun is the owned quality in 'one having the cleaving', in the genitive of the possessive pair, made definite by 'the'. The pairing binds the splitting-open to the earth as its characteristic feature.
فأقسم بالسماء ورجعها بالمطر والأرض وصدعها بالنبات
He swore by the sky and its returning of rain, and the earth and its cleaving with plants.
وَصَدْعِهَا and its cleaving
This packs 'and' plus 'cleaving' plus an attached 'its', the owner being the earth. So it means 'and its cleaving', joined by 'and' into the oath. The attached pronoun marks the earth as what does the splitting.

بِصَدْعِ is the cleaving
This fuses 'with/by' and the noun 'cleaving', the front of an 'of' pair, 'the cleaving of the earth'. The preposition forces the genitive, and the noun owns the word after it, marking the means by which the counterpart is realized.
وفسر الصدع بالنبات، لأنه يصدع الأرض أي يشقها
And the cleaving is interpreted as vegetation, as it cleaves the earth, meaning it splits it open.
الصَّدْعُ the cleaving
This noun 'the cleaving' is the subject of the passive verb, the thing being interpreted. It comes after its verb and is definite with 'the'. Under a passive verb, the would-be object surfaces as the subject, which is its role here.
