How it's used
Reference to radicals is almost exclusively found in academic, linguistic, or dictionary contexts rather than daily conversation. When discussing character components, speakers often use the term 偏旁 to refer to the radical or side of a character more generally. Using 部 specifically implies a formal classification system like the Kangxi dictionary.
