Put the cursor in the rightmost cell of the last row and press the Tab key.

Or select one or more whole rows (with the cursor in the left margin next to
the row so the arrow points to the right, click or Shift+click), then hold
the Ctrl key and drag to copy the selected rows to another location.

Or select rows, right-click, and choose Insert Rows.

.
Tab is good to add a row to the bottom of the table.

Another option for a shortcut to add a row mid-table is to
right click a blank area on a toolbar, click Customize,
and click the Commands tab. Two basic choices here, use
either or both. First choice: select All Commands in the
Categories pane on the left side of the Customize dialog
box, scroll down to TableInsertRowBelow in the Commands
pane on the right. Drag the icon to any toolbar (make
sure the preferred toolbar is visible before you begin),
and release it when the "X" turns into a plus sign.
Second choice: at the same Customize dialog box, click
the Keyboard button. Click Table in the left pane, and
TableInsertRowBelow in the right pane. Click in
the "Press new shortcut key" box, and press Ctrl or Alt
plus a letter. I prefer to use at least Ctrl + Alt +
[letter] to avoid overriding common shortcuts, but in any
case the Current Keys box will tell you if the shortcut
you chose is already in use, so you can decide if you want
to replace it. Save changes to the template when you
close Word, if it asks. Of course, either of these
methods can work with any command.
