Answer:

Blank verse presents regular metrical but unrhymed lines, and is almost always written in iambic pentameter. Iambic pentamenter is a type of metric line typical of traditional English poetry (specially Shakespeare) formed by five feet consisting of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable.

The type of verse that is predominantly used in Romeo and Juliet is called blank verse. Blank means white, which is used to show that there is no rhyming scheme in this type of verse - nothing rhymes. It is often paired with iambic pentameter (especially in Shakespeare's works) which is a type of metrical foot.
