In this article, the dynamical behaviors of a discrete-time fractional-order Rosenzweig-MacArthur model with prey refuge are studied. The piecewise constant arguments scheme is applied to obtain the discrete-time model. All possible fixed points and their existence conditions are investigated as well as the local behavior of nearby solutions in various contingencies. Numerical simulations such as the time series, phase portraits, and bifurcation diagrams are portrayed. Three types of bifurcations are shown numerically namely the forward, the period-doubling, and Neimark-Sacker bifurcations. Some phase portraits are depicted to justify the occurrence of those bifurcations.
