What are the word parts of the medical term radioresistant and what do those word parts mean?

[Anonymous]

I am currently in medical terminology and my question is asking me to separate the word into the correct word parts like (prefix, suffix, root) and then define that word part. Any help is very appreciated because I can not figure it out!

I hope I got the right term bcoz it was 2yrs ago the last time I studied medical terminology. Radio means radioactive/radiation and Resistance means to withstand something, that means radioresistant is resistant against the affect of radiation.

Just now seeing this but that is exactly what I ended up putting so hopefully its right c:

It is used in the oncology field. It describes tumors that are resistant to the effects of radiation.
