You are a spirit child of Heavenly Father, and you existed as a spirit before you were born on the earth. During your life on the earth, your spirit is housed in your physical body, which was born of mortal parents.
From the scriptures, we learn about the nature of spirits. We learn that “all spirit is matter, but it is more fine or pure, and can only be discerned by purer eyes” (D&C 131:7). We read that “the spirit of man [is] in the likeness of his person, as also the spirit of the beast, and every other creature which God has created” (D&C 77:2; see also Ether 3:7–16).
The scriptures also teach that at the time of physical death, the spirit does not die. It separates from the body and lives in the postmortal spirit world. At the time of resurrection, the spirit is reunited with the body, “never to be divided; thus the whole becoming spiritual and immortal” (Alma 11:45).

That's a good question. The answer is that there really isn't a definition, at least not a good one. Most definitions range from some kind of mythical essence of people (though it stops short of say what that essence actually is), to some kind of feeling of awe. It is because it isn't defined well that so many people believe it exists. People love adding mystery to their lives. They hate the mundane. Something like "spirit" is enticing enough, yet vague enough, to pull in billions of gullible people.

An entity that is not manifested on the physical plain. And yet all human beings have a higher spirit. The ethereal part of a being.

spirit is the core of any existence which makes a person or thing unique, containing every detail about it- the thing without which the notion of ' I ' or ' you ' don't exist.
