That's the cold start assists tank. USELESS. Even mazda says so.

You can get rid of it and cap off where the hoses go. The black cylinder thingy is the charcoal/evap canister.

OK, I've been reading your posts for the last few weeks. You need to start using the archives, searching, and reading the manuals (Haynes and factory shop). 99% of the questions you have asked are common items.
