About Feather concept
Feather is a float value in points (or whatever unit you have defined in File > Setup > Misc > Unit System) that represent the width of the area that is going to be dissolved at the edge. Feather is the light horny waterproof structure forming the external covering of birds. See English Feather definition
Feather Parameter is an standard parameter for the following types of layers:
Strangely Rectangle Layer doesn't have the Feather Parameter.
When you apply a Feather to any of those layers, then the edge of the shape becomes dissolved and spread out and shrunk the amount that the Feather value indicates.
