Stems are the structures that [[Affix (definition)|affixes]] attach to. Not to be confused with [[Root (definition)|roots]], stems can be internal complex. For example, given the word “'''sing'''-ers'' the verb sing is the root, and –er is the derivational affix, which changes the word into a noun. The complex structure ''singer'' is the stem for the plural affix ''-s''.
