It is called your Uvula (or palatine uvula) and is connective tissue. It has no real function although some believe it helps with articulation of sound.
The uvula is a muscle (muscularis uvulae) covered by mucosa. The uvula serves the function of closing the nasopharynx while swallowing so that food and liquid does not go into your nose when swallowing. However, most people do not need the entire uvula to perform this function. It is commonly removed in surgery performed for snoring or obstructive sleep apnea without causing nasopharyngeal regurgitation. It does indeed help with resonance of sound, but not with articulation.
