👉 Protomorphs are a group of organisms that lack certain essential life-sustaining processes, such as photosynthesis or respiration, and can be found in various environments.
👉 Protomorphic is a concept in biology that refers to cells that are genetically identical and have similar functions. This means they can share genes, but their genetic structure (DNA) may be different. Protomorphisms, on the other hand, are cells that lack the ability to grow or change in response to external stimuli.
👉 In linguistics, a protomorph is a morpheme that serves as a base for another morpheme in a word. It can be either a root or a suffix, depending on its function within the word. Protomorphs are often used to create new words by combining two existing ones.
