Serfs generally do not exist any more, but to the medieval extent, serfs were peasants who farmed land that belonged to a nearby Lord. They lived on the land, took care of it, and got food from it. But most of the crops are given to the Lord as "rent" for the land, even though they broke their backs working on it.

They are basically labourers who are paid in terms of land and food. They got to build houses on the land and grow food and raise animals, but most of the food they grow and animals they raise are given to the Lord in return for letting them stay on the land.
