The invention discloses a rough surface profiled fiber and a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method of the rough surface profiled fiber comprises the following steps of spinning yarns through a profiled spinneret to obtain initial fiber products; performing corrosion treatment on the obtained initial fiber products; performing washing and drying processes to obtain finished fiber products, namely, rough surface profiled fiber, wherein the process of spinning the yarns through the profiled spinneret produces the initial fiber products with the radial cross section in a star shape, then the initial fiber products are corroded, and a number of corrosive pits are formed in the surface of the obtained finished fiber products, namely, the surface obtains certain roughness to further improve condensate performance. The profiled fiber with the corrosive pits in the surface is made of polar polymers, thereby having high water absorbency, the star-shaped structure provides sliding channels for collected water, and meanwhile, the surface roughness can further improve the condensate performance of the fiber.
