Armor is one of the the Peasant's Stats. There is currently no associated Upgrade for Armor.
Armor is an additional padding to the Peasant's Health; it exists as an additional grey HP bar for each armor point. Each HP bar will only protect against one hit. This is extremely useful for hits that would deal enough damage to kill the player in one shot, such as at high 
summoning stones.
This stat functions similarly to the HP bar of 
Karmic Scale; however. it doesn't have the scaled damage/health costs.
Armor points are extremely useful for protecting against losing 
Obsidian Knife or 
Master Pickaxe.
It is also useful for the 1 HP hex 
Adventurer's Peril, which will give a buffer of hits to the player.
Armor shards are not affected by 
Frostbite; you can still "heal" armor points with the hex.
After an armor point has been lost, it can be refreshed by picking up an Armor Shard.
