To find the root word, we look at each word and remove any prefixes (parts added to the beginning) or suffixes (parts added to the end). The part that remains is the base or root word.

Here is the step-by-step breakdown for each word:

1. Unlock: Remove the prefix "un-". The root is lock.
2. lock: This word has no extra parts. The root is lock.
3. Distrust: Remove the prefix "dis-". The root is trust.
4. Remix: Remove the prefix "re-". The root is mix.
5. Unhook: Remove the prefix "un-". The root is hook.
6. Movement: Remove the suffix "-ment". The root is move.
7. Fashionable: Remove the suffix "-able". The root is fashion.
8. Likely: Remove the suffix "-ly". The root is like.
9. Joyful: Remove the suffix "-ful". The root is joy.
10. Reflection: Remove the suffix "-ion". Note that the 'c' changes back to 'ct' in the root. The root is reflect.
11. Rewrite: Remove the prefix "re-". The root is write.
12. Write: This word has no extra parts. The root is write.
13. Disclose: Remove the prefix "dis-". The root is close.
