Dishonest remark about indigestible material (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fibre

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'indigestible material' is the definition.
'fibre' can be an answer for 'material' (fibre is a kind of material). I am unsure of the 'indigestible' bit.

'dishonest remark about' is the wordplay.
'dishonest remark' becomes 'fib' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'about' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'fib'+'re'='FIBRE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fibre that I've seen before include "Brief (anag.)" , "Textile thread; roughage" , "Thread, strand" , "Long fine thread" , "Thread, filament" .)
