a prefix is an affix added to a word root or a word stem.
Examples:
root: cook
prefix: pre -
whole finished word: precook
one can add numerous (however, also a limited amount) affixes to a word root or stem. To complete the above word, one could also add an "-ed" suffix (which comes at the end)
root: cook
prefix: pre -
suffix: -ed
whole finished word: precooked
the affixes can either be:
prefixes, which come at the beginning of a root
suffixes, which come at the end
circumfixes, which go around the word root (not that common in English)
infixes, which go inside a word root or stem (also not that common)
