Recovery wadding is a flame-resistant tissue paper placed in the tube of a model rocket before the recovery device and nosecone. Its purpose is to prevent the parachute or streamer from being burned / melted when the ejection charge goes off.

What does the fire-retardant wadding in a model rocket protect?

It generally protects the recovery system. If you sit a parachute or streamer on top of a hot engine, it's going to melt or burn up (depending on the material). The wadding is placed between the engine and the recovery system so your rocket will work like it's supposed to and you'll be able to reuse it. You have to be careful how tightly you put in the wadding, though, since you don't want it to stifle your engine.
