The spots are called "rosettes". These rosettes provide camouflage, breaking up their shape when viewed against the textures and colours of their natural environment, aiding them in avoiding aggression from larger animals or aiding the stealthy hunt.

While the above answer is somewhat correct, cheetahs actually do have spots while jaguars have rosettes.
