Most aircraft have what is called a "Transponder" which is basically a radio transmitter that has in it the aircraft flight number, speed, height and maybe even its course. The flight number can be changed using a selector box in the cockpit

The Transponder waits until it gets and interrogation signal from the tower's secondary radar system and then it automatically transmits all its information. An individual interrogation signal can be sent to a particular aircraft but generally its an ALL aircraft transmission from the ground so all aircraft in the vicinity transmit their information. In his way along with the towers Primary radar are aircraft controlled and monitored by ATC

What is the role of radar in ATC?

Radar is used in Air Traffic Control (ATC) to monitor and track the movement of aircraft in the airspace. It provides controllers with real-time information about the position, altitude, and speed of aircraft, helping them to maintain safe separation between planes and guide them along their flight paths. Radar also helps ATC to detect and respond to any potential conflicts or emergencies in the airspace.
