What is the meaning of the root "cyt/o"?

Cell
Cancerous
Intestines
Teeth

The correct answer is: Cell

The root "cyt/o" refers specifically to "cell." This root is derived from the Greek word "kytos," which means "cell." In medical terminology, it is commonly used in various terms related to cells, such as "cytology," which is the study of cells, and "cytoplasm," the material within a cell excluding the nucleus. Understanding this root is essential for interpreting a wide range of medical terms that pertain to cellular structures and functions. The other options refer to different meanings unrelated to the concept of a cell, making them incorrect in this context.
