Fiber is sometimes called "Roughage." Why? Because it's rough, in a good way.
See, when you digest food, build up can... build up, on the intestines. However, your body cannot digest fiber. Because it cannot be digested, as the fiber passes through your digestive system, it scrapes off the build up. That's how it helps you.
