A humidifier puts moisture/water back into the atmosphere of the room it's designated in through the means of steam or "cool fog", depending on the make/model.

A Humidifier holds water in a tank, which is absorbed by a filter known as a wick. The appliance has a fan, which when on blows air over the wick. This process helps expedite evaporation and the process of using the fan also moves the moisture into the surrounding air.
