The Featured Image (also known as post thumbnail) is a WordPress theme feature which allows theme developers to add support for using a representative image for posts, pages, or custom post types. ... They can choose thumbnail sizes, style them, and selectively turn the display of featured images ON and OFF.

Featured images are images that represent the individual post, page type, or custom post type.
You can display the featured image in a number of ways on the page, in the header, or in above the post.
Themes must declare support for the featured images.
Ex:-add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
