What root word means bag?

Pouch
Foll
Cyst
Vesic

The correct answer is: Foll

The root word that means "bag" is "Cyst." In medical terminology, "cyst" refers to a sac-like structure filled with fluid or semisolid material, resembling a bag. This term is often used in a variety of contexts in medicine and esthetics to describe various conditions or structures, such as sebaceous cysts or other fluid-filled sacs that can develop in the body. While "pouch" may seem similar, it is not a root word used in medical terminology to describe structures; rather, it is a more general term. "Foll" is related to follicles, which are structures such as hair or gland openings, but do not imply the meaning of "bag." "Vesic" relates to blisters or vesicles, which can also be fluid-filled but does not specifically denote a bag-like structure like a cyst does. Thus, "cyst" is the most accurate term meaning "bag" in this context.
