A prefix can be found at the beginning of a word, and it is attached to the root. So, in this case, embark: the prefix is "em". This prefix, along with another, "en," means to cause. The root, "bark" has nothing to do with dogs-- it was originally an old French word for "a boat." So, in the old days, this word referred to causing someone to go onto a boat (usually to begin a journey). Today, the word also means starting a new venture or a new journey, with or without a boat!
