It is probably 1 of 2 things. It could be similar to a blood blister where your gums have formed a protective layer to stop the bleeding or it could simply be some kind of food stuck in the hole where the tooth was extracted from.

What is a bump over a tooth that needs a root canal?
The bump is an abscess, the inside of your tooth is rotting and full of bacteria. These bacteria come out of the root of the tooth where the blood supply and nerves went into the pulp of the tooth when it was healthy. When they reach the jawbone the body can detect them (it can't so well when they are in the tooth) and begins to fight them causing pain and swelling and the bump is full of puss. The root canal work cleans out the inside of the tooth and drains the puss through the hole in the tooth root. Left untreated the abscess will continue to grow (fed by infection from inside the tooth), destroying jaw bone until it bursts though to the surface of the gum.

If I have a gum infection under my molar do you think my dentist will pull it out because I'm scared of needles?
Fear of needles is not a rationale for extracting a tooth. On the other hand, if you refuse to consent to having the tooth or gum treated, extraction may be the only acceptable alternative. That raises the question, will you have the tooth without use of local anesthetic? That will probably hurt a lot more than a needle to numb the tooth and gum.
