To fix this error, you just need to import ReactiveFormsModule from @angular/forms in your module. Here's the example of a basic module with ReactiveFormsModule import:
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
@NgModule({
imports: [
BrowserModule,
FormsModule,
ReactiveFormsModule
],
declarations: [
AppComponent
],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

To explain further, formGroup is a selector for directive named FormGroupDirective that is a part of ReactiveFormsModule, hence the need to import it. It is used to bind an existing FormGroup to a DOM element. You can read more about it on Angular's official docs page (opens new window).
