The root word is "neutral." If you don't know the definition of a word, look it up:

Your answer is almost correct. The prefix for "neutral" is actually "neu-" and not "ne". There is no suffix for "neutral," and the root is indeed "utral." However, "utral" is not a standalone root; it is actually derived from the Latin root "neuter," meaning "neither." Thus, the correct breakdown would be:
Prefix: neu-
Root: -tral (derived from the Latin "neuter")
Suffix: none
As for the definition of "neutral," it refers to the state of not taking sides or being impartial in a conflict or dispute. It can also describe something that is not acidic or alkaline, having a pH balance of 7.
