Detailed explanation-1: -Phonemes are combined to form morphemes, which are the smallest units of language that convey some type of meaning (e.g., “I” is both a phoneme and a morpheme).
Detailed explanation-2: -A phoneme is the smallest unit of sound that may cause a change of meaning within a language but that doesn’t have meaning by itself. A morpheme is the smallest unit of a word that provides a specific meaning to a string of letters (which is called a phoneme).
Detailed explanation-3: -phoneme: What’s the difference? In linguistics, morpheme refers to a basic unit of meaning, while phoneme refers to a basic unit of sound. A morpheme is the smallest part of a word that still has its own independent meaning (for example, “words” has two morphemes, “word” and “s”).
