What words have the prefix zoo in them?

The prefix "zoo-" is not a common prefix in English. The word "zoo" itself is a shortened version of "zoological garden", which is a place where animals are kept for exhibition and study.

However, if you're interested in words that have the root "zoo", you could find words like:

* Zoology: The study of animals.

* Zoologist: A person who studies animals.

* Zoophyte: An animal that resembles a plant, like a coral.

It's important to remember that the root "zoo-" doesn't necessarily indicate a connection to animals. It can also refer to the Greek word "zoon" which means "animal", and thus can appear in words with more abstract meanings.

For example:

* Zoomorphism: The attribution of animal characteristics to human beings or gods.

* Zoopoeisis: The creation of life, specifically the creation of animals.
