Morphology

submerged = submerge (transparent) = sub + merge + ed

The word 'submerged' is transparently derived from 'submerge' with the addition of the past participle suffix '-ed'.

Etymology

The word submerged comes from the parts sub- ('under') and mergere ('to sink'), and you can see the same root in merge and immerse. So something submerged is 'sunk under' the water.
