Here's why:
* Root word: A root word is the basic form of a word, from which other words are formed. For example, the root word "port" can be found in words like "import," "export," "portable," and "deport."
* Transition word: A transition word is used to connect sentences, paragraphs, or ideas, showing the relationship between them. Examples include "however," "therefore," "furthermore," and "in addition."
While a root word can be part of a transition word, it's not the transition word itself. For example, the root word "con" is part of the transition word "consequently."
