That is the intake air temperature sensor, which screws in the throttle body cover. It sends a signal to the ECU that will determine fuel injection quantity, so it will affect how your car runs. I don't know how significant the effect is, but maybe you'll find out when you put it back in.
You may be able to dig away at the base of that broken terminal, and expose enough to solder it back on. I don't know how much a new one costs.
