It allows your computer to 'see' your iPhone. It can be hidden using Customize but you should not uninstall it.

I used it to change sounds on my iPhone and it is necessary if you wish to play Nintendo games.

That's kind of like saying, "How do I use a browser to access the internet?" Well not exactly but the point is its the way your computer talks to your iPhone when you want to manually load files on your computer. Using NES as an example, you would load the emulator with installer, and you will use SSH to load ROMs on either via Terminal or sFTP. Basically anything that isn't on installer you need SSH for.

All this stuff has been covered on the different boards many many times so just do some research.
