The cable of this part (see arrows) is torn so what is the purpose of this part? It is near the headphones port and I don't notice any problems using the headphones.

Where can I buy this piece?

I bought this part iPhone 5 Lightning Connector and Headphone Jack, it did not come with it so the question, should it come with it?
