exactly what it sounds, it dampens pressure. if it fails, it can cause too much pressure and can overwork injectors, cause flooding, no starts etc. etc.

Imagine a garden hose without a nozzle. The nozzle regulates the amount of water flowing through as well as the pressure it comes out at.

cut & paste from Whiplle Industries - whats a fuel damper do?
A damper is critical to the proper function of any EFI setup. Rapid cycling of the fuel injectors and fuel system components in a running engine combine with the non-compressibility of the fuel; and create high frequency pressure waves in the rail. These pressure waves can cause substantial variation in the fuel delivered by the injectors; causing numerous running problems that are difficult to trace, in addition to increasing stress on the fuel pressure regulator
