Yes I think you could call it a prefix in the same sense as the address 
of any context node becomes a prefix of all its child context nodes.

The only "special" thing about an inner root is that its address is 
composed of the address of another, unrelated context node, plus a 
relational arc.

Example:

You have context node =a
You have relational arc +b
The address of the target context node of the relational arc is (=a/+b)  
<--- That's the inner root.

Then underneath that inner root you could have a statement such as the 
following:

(=a/+b)=x/+y/(=a/+b)=z

Which in its shorthand form would be:

=a/+b/(=x/+y/=z)

So yes you could call (=a/+b) a prefix, but again, every context address 
is a prefix to its child context addresses.
