Did you buy it with the Bamboo stick in it? If so then most likely to use it to check if it needs watering or to help keep it upright.

Yes it came that way

It's common to ship with a stick to support the plant. They also give the plant some support, even if it's not fully attached to it. Even on self heading plants

Straw for a delicious soil smoothie?
