It's the Trap Valve and it is a necessary part. Its unlikely anyone will have a spare unless from a Slave Cylinder that is being broken up for spares.

In some of the After Market replacement Slave Cylinder assemblies, the Trap Valve is totally useless, consisting of a small, perforated disc and a rubber boot.

Having the part 3D printed would be a solution, but for a one off, it may be cheaper to buy a good replacement Slave Cylinder.

Regards,

Bill
