People cannot fully digest roughage, or dietary fiber, because the human digestive system lacks the enzymes necessary to break down certain complex carbohydrates found in plant cell walls. While some types of fiber, like soluble fiber, can be fermented by bacteria in the gut and provide health benefits, insoluble fiber remains largely intact as it passes through the digestive tract. This roughage helps promote regular bowel movements and supports overall gut health by adding bulk to stool.
