In the medieval society the peasant was a man who worked/farmed for his rent. He gave his labor to the lord of the manor for a place to live and a small patch of land to grow a few things. When there was a war his farm tools became weapons and he fought as a foot soldier to defend his manor/king.

Peasants were serfs or tenant farmers.

Tenant farmers were farmers who raised crops, sold them, and paid rent.

Villein serfs were farmers who worked the soil to raise crops, and paid rent in the form of food production. They were bound to the soil and not allowed to move away from the manor on which they worked, but were otherwise free.

They were just regular people like us. They had no specific name like many others do. In the middle ages the government was feudalism so the bottom was usually farmers or people who just supported their family not that important.
