A root word is like the basis of a word. It is the main meaning of the word. The prefixes and suffixes just add a bit more too it. For example:

Comprehend: the root is- prehend,which means "to seize, take, or get". The prefix in this word is com, which means "with, together"

So, comprehend means "to grasp with (in this case your mind)" or "to get information together"
