Question

Which is the definition of root?

A:the base of a word

B:the end of a word

C:the word origin

D:the beginning of a word

Answer 1

A:the base of a word

Answer 2

The root of the word is the A. the base of a word.

The root word is also known as the base word because it holds the most basic meaning of the word. The beginning and end of the word, the prefix and suffix, is incorrect because these must be removed from the word to get the root word.

Hope this helps! :)
