Using your knowledge of prefixes, suffixes, and word roots, answer the question. The garage door opens when you press a button on the remote because it's automatic. What does the word automatic mean in the sentence above?

It means that the door opens by itself, because the prefix "auto" means "by one's self" or "on one's own"
