what is the use of /wp-includes/SimplePie?

I have this location on my server. /home/localhost/public_html/wp-includes/SimplePie. I have not installed Simplepie plugin. What is it used for since it is not associated with Simplepie plugin. The reason I ask is that, I have fatal error generated from different php files in that location. Each time I debug the error a new error in different file which is at the same location is created. Later I found that it was associated with a plugin. I have removed the plugin but the folder still exist. What is that used for.?

It's used by wordpress core for parsing RSS & Atom feeds. You probably know that wordpress puts all plugins and themes into the wp-content folder so that you don't need to worry about any other folders/files. Leave it be.
