An affix is a word element, such as a prefix or suffix, that can only occur attached to a base, stem, or root.
Examples of prefixes (placed before a root/stem) -
un + kind = unkind,
re + act = react,
mis + lay = mislay,
pre + fix = prefix.
Examples of suffixes (added to the end of a root/stem) -
reason + able = reasonable,
care + full = careful,
hope + less = hopeless,
danger + ous = dangerous,
happy + ness = happiness,
just + ify = justify.
im (prefix) + port (root word) + ant (suffix) = important
A root word is the main component of meaning in a word and provides the basis from which a word is derived by adding affixes or inflectional endings or by phonetic change.
Examples of root words (from above) -
kind, act, lay, fix, reason, care, hope, danger, happy, just, port.
