The word cochleostomy has three parts. The prefix "co-" means "mutually" and the suffix "-stomy" means "a surgery involving an artificial opening." The root word "cochlear" refers to part of the inner ear. Therefore, cocholeostomy refers to a surgery implanting something in the inner ear.

Answer: prefix = co, root = cochlear, suffix = stomy

Hope this helps!
