A formant is a concentration of acoustic energy around a particular frequency in the sound spectrum of speech. In phonetics, formants are crucial for characterizing vowel sounds as they represent the resonant frequencies of the vocal tract. When a person speaks, the shape and configuration of the vocal tract (which includes the throat, mouth, and nasal passages) filter the sound produced by the vocal cords, creating these resonant peaks.
