'roughage' Aka fibre is a complex carbohydrate know as cellulose, found in vegetables. Human bodies don't create the enzyme needed to break the complex carb into simple molecules that can be used, therefore it is just passed through us (some animals do create this enzyme, hence why cows can eat grass).
