    Morphology is the study of word structure and formation. It examines the internal structure of words and how they are built from smaller units called morphemes. Morphemes are the minimal units of meaning in a language. Words can be simple, consisting of a single morpheme, or complex, made up of multiple morphemes. Free morphemes can stand alone as words, while bound morphemes must be attached to other elements.
