'Peasant' is a loose term. villeins and serfs are types of peasants, and villeins are types of serfs. A peasant is simply an agricultural worker. A serf, on the other hand, is a virtual slave, being confined to a plot of land in return for protection and the right to work. Serfs are effectively the property of their lords. Villeins are renters tied to land, but are not slaves, and can leave with their lord's consent.
A peasant was considered part of the manor as a member of the agricultural workforce that supported the feudal system. They typically worked the land, paid rents, and provided labor in exchange for protection and the right to cultivate certain plots for their own subsistence. Their status was often tied to the land they worked, and they were subject to the authority of the lord of the manor. This relationship established a hierarchical structure that was integral to medieval society.
