In linguistics, a stem is a part of a word. The term is used with slightly different meanings.
In one usage, a stem is a form to which affixes can be attached. Thus, in this usage, the English word friendships contains the stem friend, to which the derivational suffix -ship is attached to form a new stem friendship, to which the inflectional suffix -s is attached. In a variant of this usage, the root of the word (in the example, friend) is not counted as a stem.
In a slightly different usage, which is adopted in the remainder of this article, a word has a single stem, namely the part of the word that is common to all its inflected variants. Thus, in this usage, all derivational affixes are part of the stem. For example, the stem of friendships is friendship, to which the inflectional suffix -s is attached.
Stems may be a root, e.g. run, or they may be morphologically complex, as in compound words (e.g. the compound nouns meat ball or bottle opener) or words with derivational morphemes (e.g. the derived verbs black-en or standard-ize). Hence, the stem of the complex English noun photographer is photo·graph·er, but not photo. For another example, the root of the English verb form destabilized is stabil-, a form of stable that does not occur alone; the stem is de·stabil·ize, which includes the derivational affixes de- and -ize, but not the inflectional past tense suffix -(e)d. That is, a stem is that part of a word that inflectional affixes attach to.
STEM fields, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, as collective fields of study
The stem or stem group of a clade (in biological classification) consists of extinct organisms more closely related to the crown group than to any other extant clade
Word stem, the base part of a word not including inflectional morphemes
Stemming is a technique used in skiing for turning. The modern version is usually credited to the AustrianMathias Zdarsky who developed it in the 1890s by combining stemming with a variation of the Christiania technique, producing the stem Christiania, or stem Christie for short. Its variations gradually replaced the telemark technique in alpine skiing.
Basic stemming consists of rotating the back of one ski, the tail, so it is at an angle to the direction of movement. This causes sideways forces that push the skier in the direction opposite of the motion of the ski. For instance, if the skier pushes the tail of the left ski outward, they will turn to the right. The Christie variation has the skier wait for the turn to commence and then lift the non-turning ski off the snow, or simply lift their body weight off of it by stepping harder on the turning ski, and rotating it to match the original turn, resulting in the two skis once again being parallel.
The stem Christie was the primary skiing technique into the 1960s, when greatly improved skiing equipment led to the widespread adoption of the parallel turn for intermediate and expert skiers. Since then the Christie has been used primarily as an beginner and intermediate technique, and was an important step in the progressive Arlberg technique that dominated ski schools until the 2000s. The introduction of parabolic skiis and new carve turn teaching methods have greatly reduced the importance of the stem Christie, but it remains common on the ski hill and is still taught at many ski schools.
"Stem," also known by its Japanese translated title "Kuki"(茎) is a song written by Japanese singer Ringo Sheena and released in several versions.
Background
It was first released as a single in 2003, as "Stem (Daimyō Asobi-hen)"(茎(STEM)~大名遊ビ編~, "The Daimyō's fun version") as her 8th single and it was released on January 22, 2003 by Toshiba EMI / Virgin Music. The single version is sung in English, and was orchestrated by Toshiyuki Mori. The B-sides "Meisai" and "Ishiki" were arranged by Bakeneko Killer, a production team Sheena and Inoue formed. Nobuyoshi Araki, the prominent photographer, took the album cover.
The version featured on the album Kalk Samen Kuri no Hana, "Kuki,"(茎) is sung in Japanese and arranged by Bakeneko Killer. A further version found on the vinyl edition of Kalk Samen Kuri no Hana called "Stem,"(茎(STEM)) featured the album arrangement with English lyrics. It was also featured on the film Casshern's official album Our Last Day: Casshern Official Album. An English language version of "Stem" also appears on Sheena's 2007 soundtrack Heisei Fūzoku, orchestrated by Neko Saito.
Roots, Base Words, Stems: Keys to Linguistic Structure - Linguistics With Gilbert | Morphology

*The example "prefer" for base words is not correct in the video. "prefer" is a base word and not a root, as said in the video, because it consists of two morphemes. The problem occurs when saying it is not a stem. The morpheme "fer" is not a stem as it has no lexical meaning, which is also what is said in the video. "prefer" in its entirety is a stem with lexical meaning. So "prefer" is a base word and a stem.

Morphology: Crash Course Linguistics #2
What even is a word? Well… linguists don’t really know! But that’s ok! When linguists want to get super specific, we don’t even talk about words, we talk about morphemes instead. In this episode of Crash Course Linguistics, we’re diving into the topic of morphology and what makes up these things we call words.

In linguistics, a stem is a part of a word. The term is used with slightly different meanings.
In one usage, a stem is a form to which affixes can be attached. Thus, in this usage, the English word friendships contains the stem friend, to which the derivational suffix -ship is attached to form a new stem friendship, to which the inflectional suffix -s is attached. In a variant of this usage, the root of the word (in the example, friend) is not counted as a stem.
In a slightly different usage, which is adopted in the remainder of this article, a word has a single stem, namely the part of the word that is common to all its inflected variants. Thus, in this usage, all derivational affixes are part of the stem. For example, the stem of friendships is friendship, to which the inflectional suffix -s is attached.
Stems may be a root, e.g. run, or they may be morphologically complex, as in compound words (e.g. the compound nouns meat ball or bottle opener) or words with derivational morphemes (e.g. the derived verbs black-en or standard-ize). Hence, the stem of the complex English noun photographer is photo·graph·er, but not photo. For another example, the root of the English verb form destabilized is stabil-, a form of stable that does not occur alone; the stem is de·stabil·ize, which includes the derivational affixes de- and -ize, but not the inflectional past tense suffix -(e)d. That is, a stem is that part of a word that inflectional affixes attach to.
