Morphology
uneaten = eaten (transparent) = un + eat + en
The word 'uneaten' is transparently derived from 'eaten' by adding the prefix 'un-', indicating the negation of the state of being eaten.
Etymology
Uneaten is made from the part un- meaning 'not' and the verb eat, so it describes food that is 'not eaten'.
