Answer:

sub-

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that a prefix is a group of letters placed before the root of a word in order to change it's meaning.

In this case, the prefix sub- means something bellow or under something.

For example: the root word way means a road or a track, by adding the prefix sub- a new word is formed, subway meaning an underground railway.

Here by using this prefix with the word text, subtext is formed, refering to an underlying meaning.
