Morphology is a linguistic study that studies the structure of words and how they are
formed to create new words by adding suffixes, affixes and prefixes combining with the
base forms.

2. Morpheme is the smallest unit of a language which contains words or elements that
have meaning.

3. There are two types of morpheme:

1. Free morpheme.
Free morpheme is a morpheme that can stand by its own. For the examples, books,
guitars, shoes, clothes, etc.
2.Bound morpheme.
Bound morpheme is a morpheme that cannot stand by its own. Even though, bound
morpheme has its own meaning, but bound morpheme should be attached by free
morpheme to be meaningful. For example: -ly, -s, -ing, -ed and etc. other examples such
as: the word book become books

Root is the essence of a word. root can be free or bound. Meanwhile,

stem is an advanced part of root with some modifications. They are generally derivational
in nature.

The word can be morpheme if the word has a meaning, for example like the word "Eat
and Sit" in free morpheme.

There is a morpheme that is not a word, namely bone morpheme. Why bone morpheme?
because this morpheme cannot stand by it's own, which makes it meaningless if it stands
alone. for example: -ly, is, ing, er, ed, etc.
