My 5th grade class said that it was a peffix beacause it had understood so I dont know if ther are right.

Yes, indeed.
Mis is the prefix, and there is no suffix.
Then again, wait for more answers, I'm just a 14 year old girl.
Yup that's correct!
No, the word itself is neither a prefix nor a suffix. However, since if you take its parts apart, you'll see it's just "mis" + "understood", the part "mis" is its suffix, which means "bad".

"Some people mistakenly misunderstand the meaning of the word "suffix" and misinterpret it to mean "prefix""
