The term Feudalism is used two different ways.
The first some people would equate it with the manorial system. This is a system in which lords of manors own estates and serfs live on the estates, work the land, and provide some of their crops, or the cash value of the part, to the lords. In exchange they get a place to live, fields to farm, and protection. The system is good for people who live in times when there are raids and invasions, and when the small farmers will be destroyed unless they have someone who can protect them.
The other way people regard feudalism is as a system of government in which a weak central government delegates authority through a chain of command, called the feudal pyramid, in which each lord has a relationship with the lord above him that is rather like the relationship between the serf and his lord. The land a lord gets to use is his in exchange for oaths of support and allegiance. The vassal, by analogy like a serf, uses the income from his land to equip himself and his followers so they can fight wars for his liege lord. This also is a system that is good in times of anarchy, invasion, and raids.
Feudalism provided for people in times of need. Ultimately, the world outgrew it as times became more settled.
