Default found a vacuum hose near the oil filter, need help!!

when i was checking my oil filter lines for leaks, i noticed a vacuum hose dangling down. it wasnt cut straight, like the tip was angled off at maybe a 30 to 45 degree cut. what could it be from? or is it supposed to be just randomly dangling?

could be for the 4wd switch back at the transfer case. if you get time post some pictures that might help people figure out what it is
