Something is sticking out from my vent

While I was cleaning my 2018 13 inch MacBook Pro, I noticed something sticking out from my vent. Can anyone please tell me what this is and if this will present a problem for my Mac. I also tried to clean it thinking that it was dust but then realized that it’s actually coming from the inside of my Mac.

MacBook Pro 13”, macOS 10.14
