A formation of a word that imitates the sound the word tries to represent.
Example:
The word "meow" is an example of onomatopoeia because it tries to imitate a cat.

Onomatopoeia is important to describe sounds that can't be describe using any other word. It also helps people understand how a sound sounds. For example, if someone says "A cat meowed." a person can interpret that the sound sounds like "meow".
