read a txt file line by line in C - c

Question

I'm trying to retract strings from a txt file.
The file content is;
apple
pear
orange
basicly every line has one word and I would like to read every line and retract words into the string char* word[25] because the longer word is 24 characters. When I implement a simple code to read every character in ASCII between each line there was value 10 for end of line. So I created a for loop without any condition and added if condition to spot the 10 value end of line (LF). But it doesn't work and I'm sure I messed in something very basic in code or logic. Sorry if my code seems unlogical or very wrong, I'm fairly new. Also there are lots of libraries added cos I'm going to use them if I could done this step. TIA
#include <cs50.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <ctype.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
if (argc < 2)
{
printf("Usage: ./word filename\n");
return 1;
}
FILE* ptr = fopen(argv[1], "r");
char ch;
char* word[45];
for (int i = 0; ;i++)
{
ch = fgetc(ptr);
word[i] = &ch;
if (ch == 10)
{
break;
}
}
printf("%s\n", *word);
return 0;
}
terminal output

What if you drop the pointers ..
char ch;
char word[45];
for (int i = 0; ;i++)
{
ch = fgetc(ptr);
word[i] = ch;
if (ch == 10)
{
break;
}
}
printf("%s\n", word);

You could do it dynamically too :
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
if (argc < 2)
{
printf("Usage: ./word filename\n");
return 1;
}
FILE *ptr = fopen(argv[1], "r");
char ch;
int i = 0;
char *word = calloc(45, sizeof(char));
for (ch = fgetc(ptr); ch != EOF; ch = fgetc(ptr), i++)
{
if (ch == '\n')
break;
word[i] = ch;
}
printf("%s\n", word);
free(word);
return 0;
}
