Root WordsMany of the words we use today came from Greek or Latin words used in the past.
A root is the basic element of a word.
Most roots need to be combined with other elements in order to be a complete word.Remember: the roots, in most
cases, are NOT words. They are PARTS of words.
Being able to identify roots within words can help build your comprehension when you read.
