Giving human emotions, feelings, qualities, and/or senses of character to an inanimate object or something that doesn't show these attributes naturally.
Example:
The stars danced playfully in the moonlit sky.
You are able to sense personification since you know that stars are inanimate and do not literally dance across the sky.
Significance:
Personification is important to literature because by giving inanimate objects human-like qualities, deeper more accurate portrayal is possible.
