3 Parts of a Word? What does this mean?

My 10 yo daughter has a question in her english workbook i just don't understand.

It says:

Write the three parts of theses words.

steady ___________ _____________ ________________

spring ___________ _____________ ________________

Can anybody explain what this question means?

Thanks

David

PS Both my wife and I are educated at university level and we are both stumped!

I can only think that the teacher wants the verb forms (present, past, past participle), as in STEADY STEADIED STEADIED and SPRING SPRANG/SPRUNG SPRUNG.

i think you might be after prefixes, root and suffixes.

But the words given don't have prefixes or suffixes! I would just ask the teacher for an example.
