imagine your Ken doll can stand with a barbell on his back as for a squat (his arms can bend). Now, he bends forward, hinging only at the hips with his back straight. Once he gets to parallel, he raises back up using his hamstrings & glutes to straighten the hips. That is the visual for a good morning. For real people, the knees would be slightly broken, not Ken doll-ish, but you don't actively bend them during the exercise.
