This is referring to the reinforcing bar or rebar. See previous questions:

Rebar is common steel reinforcing bar, an important component of reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry structures. It is usually formed from mild steel, and is given ridges for better frictional adhesion to the concrete...Although rebar has ridges that bind it mechanically to the concrete with friction, it can still be pulled out of the concrete under high stresses, an occurrence that often precedes a larger-scale collapse of the structure. To prevent such a failure, rebar is either deeply embedded into adjacent structural members, or bent and hooked at the ends to lock it around the concrete and other rebars. This first approach increases the friction locking the bar into place while the second makes use of the high compressive strength of concrete.
To prevent workers from accidentally impaling themselves, the protruding ends of steel rebar are often bent over or covered with special plastic "mushroom" caps.

The rebar protruding from the piles provides the connection between the piles and pile caps.
