It's your emergency brake cable. Check to see if the clips are there if not you can easily zip tie it up so it doesn't hang on anything while you drive.

^^ indeed it is the emergency brake cable. It's a sheathed cable, it may have come out of one of it's clips that run along the frame. They rust out like crazy underneath the vehicle.
