Reticular fibers crosslink to form a fine meshwork (reticulin). Reticular fiber is composed of one or more types of very thin and delicately woven strands of type III collagen.

Detailed explanation-2: -reticular fibre, in anatomy, fine fibrous connective tissue occurring in networks to make up the supporting tissue of many organs. The reticular fibres are composed of randomly oriented collagenous fibrils lying in an amorphous matrix substance.
