If that’s a spring inside the rubber hose, then it’s probably the hose that connects to the overflow tube on the fuel tank seal between the fuel tank and the rear deck.
If it’s not a spring, then I have no idea!

Could be a hose to the vacuum canister that was either removed by a prior owner and left behind or that just broke off recently and fell out.
It could also be any number of vacuum hoses connected to the engine, headlights or many other things.
If everything is working as it should and you haven’t developed any recent vacuum leaks, it’s probably been sitting somewhere for years and just dropped to the ground.

Where under the car could be a clue. Front? rear? Left? right?

Glad I didn't bet any money on this then! 
That is your EGR TVS switch. They're available:

Shop around, you might find a better deal.

Good chances the numbers will be 364788...
That switch changes state at or around 120*
You will most likely never find another metal switch but here is a NOS TVS switch with correct part number and free shipping...

If you need one sooner most of the major auto parts stores can get you a Standard #PVS71 replacement switch...

Or you could just delete all that EGR garbage completely.

With the switch port broken like it is, you will also have a vacuum leak at temperatures at or around 120* in the off-idle through wide open throttle positions.
That TVS switch should be connected to a ported vacuum signal of the carburetor throttle plate.
