morphologically
In structural terms
Morphologically describes something in terms of form or structure.
In biology, organisms are classified morphologically by their physical features rather than genetics: Morphologically, the two species are nearly identical.
In linguistics, it refers to word formation—how prefixes, suffixes, and roots combine: English is morphologically simpler than German.
