So, I heard you guys have got a new trick?
Urgh! Yuck!
Ok.
That is quite impressive, a starfish!
What’s next I wonder?
A foot and a ball.

Two words that fit together to make a new one are called compound words.

Description
Compound words are formed when two or more separate words are joined together.
This creates a brand new word that often has a new meaning. For example:
super + hero = superhero
tooth + brush = toothbrush
play + ground = playground
