It could be several things.

Non softened water line for drinking.

Line to reverse osmosis drinking water system that has been removed.

If it's hot it could be for a dishwasher.

Like Mr. Larson said it could be alot of things. Stub in for a dishwasher, filtered water system, seperate spray faucet depending on the sink type.

Around here it is common for an exterior hose bib.

Common here also for exterior faucet. Typical for a slab on grade configuration.

I shut mine off during the winter (and open exterior faucet) to keep exterior bib from freezing. Many homes have hose bib shut-offs under the kitchen sink and under a bathroom sink.
