Per Microsoft, SharePoint feature is a modular server-side, file system-level customization (code based solution) that contains items that can be installed and activated in a SharePoint environment.
Say I need an additional functionality to be implemented on my sharepoint site, we use to create a feature for that and install and activate at the right level (farm, web app , site collection or site) to get to done properly.
Advantages of feature are
Features would help add / remove the functional components together as a single entity which would help the management easier
Feature would allow owners / admis of a site to turn on / off the features as per the reuirement
Technically Features is a collection of one or more feature.xml file that is located in a custom subdirectory of the features directory. Features can also contain other files that make up its components, such as and most commonly an XML file that contains a list of Feature elements.
