Without it, the cello would either slip, or ruin the floor. The stick is called a tail spike. I'm using it in the picture, well, the rock stop anyway, because everybody uses the tail spike when they play the cello. Here's a concept of a cello displaying the names of the parts:

How exciting for you. I loved learning about the Cello from your post. You did a great job. Have you heard about YoYoMa? Of course you have, he is an amazing Cellist. He even played at President Obama's Inauguration. Look him up on Youtube with your parents' permission.
