Piece of foam above radiator

I've just been inspecting my 02 cooper and have noticed a piece of foam that goes along the top of the radiator. Any idea why it is there? It is starting to disintergrate and wondered if it is necessary, or will it be ok to remove it.

Its there to direct and seal airflow, so it is doing a job on cooling the car. A new one is about a fiver
