Is there a relationship between Mysql: federated indexes and index merging?

https://www.cnblogs.com/digde.
reads the above article, which says:

< hr >

the following types of where conditions and their combinations may use the index union merge algorithm:
1) the condition uses all fields in the composite index or left prefix fields (also applicable to single-field indexes)

< hr >

the composite index here refers to the federated index, but I think if there is a federated index, it should not go through index merging, right?
