what

Yes, it can, depending on the word. Prefixes, however, almost never change the root word. The most common changes of a root when adding suffixes are the removal of a final E that follows a consonant (e.g. diving), or the change of a Y to an I (e.g. silliness).

Almost never, compared to the changes in some spellings when adding suffixes (mostly dropped E's). One prefix that can change is anti- to ant- as in the words antacid and antagonist.

of the root word doesn't change apex

No. The root word doesn't ordinarily change when adding a prefix to the front of the word.

Not at all, except for some very rare cases. It is with suffixes that most changes occur.

If a change is made, it will usually be to the normal spelling of the prefix, as in the word antacid (from antiacid) or antagonist.
