underline the root in each of following combing terms

Question

splen/o
hyster/o

Answer 1

In the combining terms you provided, the roots can be underlined as follows:

• splen/o (where "splen" is the root meaning "spleen")
• hyster/o (where "hyster" is the root meaning "uterus")

The roots are typically the main part of the word that conveys its primary meaning, while the combining form includes a vowel (in this case, "o") to facilitate pronunciation when combined with other word parts.
