Roth 401(k) definition

Question
What is a Roth 401(k) retirement plan? 
Answer
A Roth 401(k) is the opposite of a traditional 401(k) in terms of taxation, in that the former is funded with after-tax dollars and withdrawals are distributed tax-free, as long as certain holding period requirements are met.
