Good question! It is formed around the cartilage support of the "pinna" (outer ear/ear flap). It is most comparable to our own ear lobes.

As far as I know it has no major function, like the lobes of our own human ears, but it's size and shape will be dictated genetically.

It is most likely a remanant of fetal ear development in the womb.
