A morpheme is the smallest unit of meaning in a language. The word "dis" has meaning on its own and can also be added to other words to change their meaning (e.g. "dislike"). Therefore, "dis" is an example of a morpheme.

A phoneme, on the other hand, is the smallest unit of sound in a language. The word "ta" has different phonemes for each sound (/t/ and /a/), so neither of them is a phoneme on its own.
