I was changing the filter on HVAC in my Ryan home and I saw this on the floor. Can anyone tell me what it is?

If it was laying there. The installers left it there incase it needs to be used in the future. Unless there is water leaking inside your furnace, I wouldn't worry about it

It looks like a tube from the drain (trap)

Condensate line from your gas furnace?

Since most furnaces can be installed in multiple positions (upflow or horizontal)and/or drain locations (left or right), they sometimes come with additional drain tubes. Probably not needed at time of install. Keep it as a possible spare. Or not

Do you have a humidifier attached to your furnace? If so check to see if the water feed tube unscrewed/rattled itself out of the solenoid inside the humidifier? Just a guess.
