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 :
Dietary fiber :
- Dietary fiber is the uneaten component of plant foods such as fruits, vegetables, cereals, nuts, seeds, and legumes.
- Fibre adds weight to our stools, encourages the growth of beneficial bacteria in our intestines, and serves as a sponge, absorbing liquid to soften them.
- Fiber is primarily made up of carbohydrates. Fibre's primary function is to maintain the digestive tract healthily. Bulk and roughage are other words for dietary fiber, however, they can be misleading because some types of fiber are water-soluble and aren't bulky or rough at all.
