Answer: A word or the smallest part of a word that has meaning.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is that 'morpheme' is representing the smallest part or unit in a language that has a meaning but there are differences between morpheme and a word. The difference is that words are always standing alone but a morpheme in many situations has the ability to not stand alone.

There are two categories of morpheme and those are 1. Free morphemes and 2. Bound morphemes

Free morphemes are considered as words and they can stand alone.

Bound morphemes are considered as parts of some word usually they come with suffixes or prefixes.
