number of feet: 2

kind of feet: trochaic

Step-by-step explanation:

A metrical foot is the basic unit of measurement repeated within a line of poetry that consists of at least one stressed syllable and one unstressed syllable. There are six types of feet: iamb, trochee, dactyl, anapest, spondee, and pyrrhic.

A trochee consists of a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable, like the words “deeper” and “meaning.” Therefore, the phrase “deeper meaning” is a trochaic line consisting of two trochaic feet.
