What are similarities between byte and a word?

Both a byte and a Word are units of digital information used in computing. A byte typically consists of 8 bits and is the standard unit for measuring data size, while a Word refers to the natural data size that a processor can handle in a single operation, which can vary (commonly 16, 32, or 64 bits). Both serve as fundamental building blocks for data representation and processing in computer architecture. Additionally, they both play crucial roles in determining memory allocation and data manipulation in programming.
