Definition
仍然 (réng rán) is a formal adverb meaning 'still, as before' — it's more written/formal than the everyday 还是 (hái shi), which also means 'still' but is more colloquial and versatile. 仍然 is close to 依然 (yī rán), but 依然 is slightly more literary; 仍然 is the standard choice in neutral formal writing.
