The favicon.ico file is used to store a little image in the bookmarks/favourites of the person viewing your site (assuming of course that they save it as a favourite).

Most browsers look for it automatically, if it doesn't exist the user will be none the wiser but your server will record a 404 error as it hasn't been able to find the file it was asked for.
