A Morpheme is an elements which make up a word. In other words, a morpheme is the smallest meaningful part which a word can be divided. It classified into two, free morpheme and bound morpheme. Free morphemes can stand alone to make meaning like; 'inter' as in international, 'able' as in reasonable. and bound morphemes are meaningless unit like 'ir' as in irregular, 'ed' as in booked. e.g; the word ''boys'' consists of two morpheme, each has lexical meaning. 'Boy' is meaningful unit and 's' is anothe minimal unit with meaning, because it has turn ''boy'' to other meaning. Phonemes on the other hand, is dealt with speech sound unit upon which the word meaning can change when the phoneme is changed. e.g: in word ''slap'' when 'l' is removed it turns to ''sap'' and each are grammartically corret but, they have different meaning. Also in ''tip'' can change to ''sip''. Here, we see some changes of sound which make the meaning of the words alterred. Now, the defferences can be sum up as follows: A Morphame is dealt with words formation. While, a phoneme mainly dealt with sounds of the word. A morphame is word changes/formation technique through affixation. While, a phonemes can change the word's meaning through slightly changes of some sound in particuler word. A Morpheme unit, can be added to the root word to formed another grammartical class of word. While, a phonemes has nothing to do with this. Some Morphame are meaningful. While, phonemes cannot stand alone to make meaning. Finaly, each has relation in the creation of new words and in the use of minimal units like, p, is, ir, t, d, ed e.t.c
Phoneme is a basic sound unit that distinguishes meaning within a language, while allomorph is a variation of a morpheme that occurs in different contexts. Phonemes affect meaning at the word level, while allomorphs affect meaning at the morpheme level.
A phoneme can stand as a morpheme when it carries meaning on its own, such as the 's' in "dogs." An allomorph is a variant form of a morpheme that appears in different contexts, such as the '-s' in "cats" and the '-es' in "boxes." Phonemes can function as allomorphs when they change depending on the context or the surrounding sounds in a word.
A phone is a device used for communication, while a phoneme is a unit of sound in a language that can change the meaning of a word.
A morpheme is the smallest unit of language that has meaning. For example Cats has two morphemes- cat (singular) and -s (plural). Uneventful has three morphemes. event, -ful, and un-. Each morpheme changes the meaning of the word. A phoneme is the sound that can change the meaning of a word. For example cat and cut are two different words because they have two different phonemes, the sound "a" and the sound "u".
A morpheme is a distinctive sound in speech. A phoneme is a set of morphemes which actually change meaning. For example if we in English take the sound "r" and consider making it longer "rrr" we could, if we pay attention, agree it is a different sound. It is a different morpheme. But if someone speaks like that it would just be an accent, it would not actually change the meaning. They are different morphemes but the same phoneme.

The primary difference between a word and a morpheme is that a word is freestanding, where a morpheme may or may not be. For example, the morpheme "star" can stand by itself, but the morpheme "-s" cannot.
"Morph" is just a shortened form of "morpheme"

An interfix is attached into two different morphemes while infix is inserted in the middle of one morpheme. Hence, interfix involves two different morphemes but infix involves a single morpheme
Words that differ in meaning due to a difference in a single phoneme are called minimal pairs.
The smallest unit of sound that can be distinctly recognized in a language is a phoneme. Phonemes are the basic units of sound that distinguish one word from another in a language.
In linguistics, a phoneme is a distinct sound unit that can change the meaning of a word, while a phone is a specific instance of a sound produced by a speaker. Phonemes are abstract representations of sounds, while phones are the actual sounds produced in speech.
Free morphemes can stand alone as words, while bound morphemes need to be attached to another morpheme to form a word. Free morphemes have meaning on their own, while bound morphemes only have meaning when attached to other morphemes.
