Its for your cruise control. There's a large ball down there that the cruise control gets its vacuum from.

It also controls the vacuum for the HVAC vents.

its the vacuum tank that asically serves to act as a buffer to smooth the vaucuum out for all your acc. It also acts as a sorce for vacuum. Basically like a capacitor. I took mine off after the nipple snapped off. The vacuum accesories seem to work fine w/o it.
