Is this a clean out or something else?

Contemplating removing the water pipes and drain line in the picture. Have a weird pvc loop that sticks out of the wall that appears to be a clean out? Any ideas on this, which I realize may be hard to know without opening the wall to see what all is going on. If it's only for that drain, I imagine it would be ok to remove?

If you "cap it off" the sink will not drain. If you remove it the sink may overflow during a backflow condition. If you leave it in, it may not work anyway after being in use for several years.
