Muscles and physical power.
Strength affects your Athletics skill and attack rolls so you become better at melee combat. It also determines how far you can jump, how much you can carry and how far you can shove (possibly based on Athletics).
Strength modifier chart
Baldur's Gate 3 uses the Point Buy ruleset.
