Answer:

Prefix

Step-by-step explanation:

The root is the base word.

An Affix added on the the root word helps change it's meaning.

A prefix is a type of affix that is placed in front of a word to change it's meaning (example: un-, which means not, added on to the word "happy" makes "unhappy").

A suffix is a type of affix added on to the end of the root word (example: -er, which means one who preforms the action, added on to "read" creates "reader"
