To what does the root "Stomat(o)" refer?

  1. Mouth

  2. Stomach

  3. Liver

  4. Intestine

The correct answer is: Mouth

The root "Stomat(o)" is derived from the Greek word "stoma" which means mouth. This root is commonly used in medical terminology to refer to various structures or conditions of the mouth, such as stomatitis (inflammation of the mouth), stomatomycosis (fungal infection of the mouth), or stomatoplasty (surgery involving the mouth). While some of the other choices may also pertain to digestive organs, they do not specifically refer to the mouth like the root "Stomat(o)" does. Therefore, A is the most accurate answer.
