Answer:

Place

Step-by-step explanation:

The root Topo- comes from the greek word Topos, which basically means place or location, in english it is used as a root to make reference to a place, and it is used to form compound words with other latin roots, for example topographer, which combines the greek roots topo and graph, which are place and image, so a topographer is someone who creates an image of a place, and they often work creating and updating maps.
