Explanation:

A prefix is the group of letters that is placed before a root word to add meaning to it and form derivatives. Example: Co-worker, dis-agree, etc.

Suffix associates to the group of letters placed at the end of a root word to modify its meaning. Example: Futile, Funny, etc.

Root words are the basic meaning of a word that can be altered by adding a suffix or prefix to it in order to form derivatives. Example: Autonomy, Democracy, etc.
