∙ 13y agoA fibre (fiber) is the smallest basic strand (filament) in a thread or woven fabric.
In an anatomical sense, fiber (American spelling) is a slender cell, such as a muscle, nerve, or connective tissue cell. Dietary fiber is indigestible material that helps regulate the activity of the alimentary system.
Metaphorically, it is the basic constituent or strength, as in "one's moral fiber" or "the very fiber of our being".
