Answer:

Morphology refers to a language's rules for word formation, whereas Semantics refers to the meaning of words and sentences.

Step-by-step explanation:

Morphology is a branch of grammar that studies all related to the form or structure of words in a language, including the rules for word formation and morphemes which are the smallest units of meaning of a word that can not stand on their own, such as stems, root words, prefixes, or suffixes. As for Semantics, it is a branch of linguistics that studies the denotative and connotative meaning of words, phrases, and sentences
