keyword stemming is the process of finding out the root word from the search query. A query having the word � playful� would be broken down to the word �play� with the help of stemming algorithm. The search results returned would be having the word � play� in it.
Keyword stemming is a useful tool for web pages and search engine optimization. The process of keyword stemming involves taking a basic but popular keyword pertaining to a particular website and adding a prefix, suffix, or pluralization to make the keyword into a new word. This particular process allows a website to expand upon the number of variable options, which can help a website get more traffic.
