first thing that comes to mind is that maybe it was there, to keep the hose bendable, yet sturdy so that it didn't kink or collapse....just a thought..maybe someone else has a better idea why

it probably supposed to be in the bend of the hose to keep it from pinching/collapsing. depending on its length, it may also be only a piece of a larger spring thats still in the hose.
