Stemmer

This module includes classes and functions for word stemming.

The difference between Lemmatizer and Stemmer is that the Stemmer has no understanding of the word's meaning and merely tries to find the root by removing some simple suffixes; therefore, it may provide incorrect results for some words. However, the Lemmatizer performs this task based on a reference list of words along with their roots, offering more accurate results. Of course, the cost of this accuracy is lower speed in stemming.
