Answer:

wood root

Step-by-step explanation:

Words are basically a mixture of sound or speech that is able to stand alone. our thoughts are most times expressed via our words.

Root tells the primary and essential meaning of a particular word

Wood root is simply that part of a word that cannot be broken down into smaller fragment(base part of a word). minor changes can be made to the root word by addition of a prefix or a suffix to the root word. a root word cannot stand on its on. it needs an affix or another word attached to it to give it a whole new meaning. that is this minor changes or modification can give a new meaning to the word.

In "monocracy", the word "cracy" can be modified by addition of of a prefix such as democracy,theocracy and others. All these are related to ruling. democracy is simple called the government by the people, theocracy is a government characterized by divine guidance
