As part of a literacy assignment, I am writing a piece of text analysing the
difficulties students may have with learning and understanding certain
similar scientific words. For example, words such as dissolve, soluble,
insoluble, solution, solvent and solute all have "sol" as part of the word.

How do I describe this part of the word? Syllable? Phoneme? Something else?

Any ideas appreciated.

There's an argument for 'morpheme'.
