I would put the root as alga ...latin for seaweed, and the e on the end to make it plural (more than one)
so the suffix is e?
Yes. The suffix is -e.
What is the actual suffix or prefix
steve
The word "algae" does not have a defined prefix or suffix. It is derived from the Latin word "alga" which means "seaweed." Therefore, the root of the word "algae" is "alg-" or "alga." However, it's important to note that in some words related to algae, like "algology" (the study of algae) or "alginate" (a substance derived from algae), the prefix "alg-" is used as part of the word formation.
