Alright, root words are basically words that have a prefix or a suffix on them to make a new work.
Prefix - something that comes before the word, as in "un" "im" "a"
These words have a prefix - UNintentional, IMmobile, Asexual.
Suffix - something that comes AFTER the word, as in "tion" or "i"
These words have a suffix - IntercepTION, graffitI
So, the "root word" means the word WITHOUT the prefix or suffix.
These words are with their prefixes and suffixes ...
UNintentional, IMmobile, Asexual.
...And these are the same words without them.
Intentional, Mobile, Sexual.
Root words are basically words that have no prefixes or suffixes.
Hope that helps!
