A marcher is a person in a march: a long walk that a group of people do together, usually to show what they believe or to protest about something. Peace marchers, climate marchers, workers walking through the city with signs — they are all marchers. It is a plain, slightly formal news-word. In everyday talk someone might just say the people on the march, or . The ending -er here means “a person who does this”, built on march, the walk. Though actually, English has an older marcher too: someone who lived on a march, meaning a border, especially the old border lands between England and Wales. That is a different story, from a different march, and not the meaning you need for a protest. If you only remember one, remember the person walking with a group to make a point.

組成For this meaning: march + -er, with -er the agent suffix (a person who does the action), as in teacher or walker. English also has an older marcher from march “border” + -er “inhabitant”, which is not this sense.
