Cell towers are used to relay signals to and from cell phones that are closest to them. The signal is then either sent to another tower closer to the main telephone relay station, or is sent directly to a land line that travels to the main telephone relay station. Cell phone towers stand out from ordinary radio towers because they have rectangular antennas at the top near the sides, often in a triangular formation. It is older radar towers that have the distinctive "drum" looking devices on their sides.

Or more simply, a cell tower is a physical structure to provide radio coverage for cell phones.
