We do say,
Which one bigger?
Which one smaller?

How about more and less? Can we say morer? Lesser?
Which one morer??

There is no word "morer."
There is a word "lesser" but you don't use it like that.

Bigger means that something is larger than something else.

Smaller means that something is tinier than something else.

Morer is not a valid word. You use more in two ways - more of something and more than something.

In the firs case you have a particular quantity let's say 1 kilo of apples. But you realize that you need a bit more for the pie and you tell the salesman - I need more of these apples, maybe 2 kilos. You use it when you need larger quantity of the same thing.

In the second case it is almost interchangeable with bigger. More than simply means that something is in bigger quantity than something else. They do not need to be of the same nature or to be relates in any way. You can say these pigeons are more than the kids at the playground.

There are three forms of adjectiives: positive, comparative and superlative
e.g. big, bigger, biggest
little/less, lesser, least
many/much, more, most

'Morer' is not a word. The adding '-er' to an adjective to change it to the comparative works in most cases but not all.

You could ask something like Which one is more/less expensive?

No. You can say there are more pigeons than kids at the playground.
