That is a round steel plate bolted to the output end of the crankshaft to which the clutch or the torque converter is attached and into the circumference of which are milled teeth into which the starter pinion gear engages that, by its rotational inertia, smooths the pulsations of the combustion stroke.

It makes the engine run smoother.

Typically, it is more cost effective to replace the flywheel than it is to repair it. A new flywheel will be less likely to cause you to have to pull the engine or drop the transmission which probably is going to cost you a half-day's worth of labor.
