Answer:
Dietary fiber or roughage is the portion of plant-derived food that cannot be completely broken down by human digestive enzymes. Dietary fibers are diverse in chemical composition, and can be grouped generally by their solubility, viscosity, and fermentability, which affect how fibers are processed in the body.

Answer:
The dietary fibrous content of our food, is called roughage; which prevents constipation. Without roughage, food cannot be digested by our body. It passes down the entire digestive tract, helps in preventing constipation and ensures proper bowel movement. Not only this, many doctors believe that a high fibre diet reduces the risk of heart diseases and bowel cancer.
