HELP!!!

I got some small seedlings in a trade (I know, the pic is fuzzy, best I could do).

At the base of each one, there's a cube of what feels like a spongy material, and the roots are growing right through the cube.

I tried carefully taking off the cube on one plant, but I took some roots with it.

I can't ask the sender - she's never online.

Anybody know what the cube is? Am I supposed to leave it there, and let the roots grow through it? Will it disintegrate after a while?
