Answer

Because "piggybacking " means to " get on another person's back", you would best use it when you piggyback on someone else's answer.

Answer

To piggyback, in this case, is to use an existing thing (in your case, an answer) as support.

I wouldn't call it a foul if you said 'I am piggybacking on my previous answer,' but I will say it sounds a little odd (because I don't hear it often.)

I would say something around the lines of, "Referring to my previous answer, there is extra info I would like to add."
