I'm not sure if your question is whether a prepositional phrase is the same thing as a word group, or if "group" is a prepositional phrase.
The answer is no in either case.
A word group must express a complete thought.
A prepositional phrase is part of a sentence and it has to start with a preposition. "In the group" is a prepositional phrase beginning with the preposition "in."
Yes, the word "by" is a prepositional phrase. No, the word "by" is a preposition; a prepositional phrase including the word "by" would be "... by the wayside."
Below is an example a sentence with a noun phrase and three prepositional phrases: A group of students (noun phrases) were sitting on a bench (prepositional phrase) in the garden (prepositional phrase) across the road (prepositional phrase).Also - were sitting - is a verb phrase
A phrase is two or three words.A preposition is a single word like on / up / over / throughA prepositional phrase is a phrase (two or three or more words) with a preposition = on the table / through the gate / over the bridge
A prepositional phrase is a group of words that begins with a preposition and ends with a noun or pronoun. Can you please provide the sentence you are referring to so I can identify the prepositional phrase within it?
There would be no such thing as a "fake" prepositional phrase
The word that introduces a prepositional phrase is a preposition.
Yes, the word "by" is a prepositional phrase. No, the word "by" is a preposition; a prepositional phrase including the word "by" would be "... by the wayside."

A prepositional phrase contains more than one word and is introduce by a preposition, which your is not.
Generally, the last word of a prepositional phrase is the "object of the preposition."
The question sentence does not have a prepositional phrase.One that does is "Is there a prepositional phrase in this sentence?"
no its not!
