the parts of the suspension swing back and forth to provide the, well, suspension action when you go over bumps and uneven roads and things. The parts and only swing so far, and then they have to bump into something. Instead of letting them bash into the body or frame, car makers put a bump stop there instead, usually made of some tough dense rubber or something similar. In normal driving the suspension won't get that far, but if you hit a curb, a big speed bump or pothole, it's better to bash the rubber stop than to crunch the car frame.
