Explanation:

The terms root, prefix, and suffix are relevant to the field called morphology - the study of words, their structure and formation, and relationship to other words. All of them are different types of morphemes. Here, you were given morphemes of Greek origin.

The root of a word consists of the word with no prefixes or suffixes (e.g. morph).

A prefix is an affix placed before the root of the word (e.g. macro-, hyper-, endo-, eu-, peri-, a-/an-).

A suffix is an affix placed after the root of the word (e.g. -phobia).
