Chalaza are round shaped tissues that help suspend the egg yolk with in a egg. This structure is present in the eggs of most reptiles and birds but are sometimes also present in plants performing a similar job. For culinary purposes, Chalaza is not used as it may effect the texture of the dish, even though it is perfectly same to consume.

What is the white stuff that is inside a chicken called?
The clear white stuff is called albumen and it protects the yolk of the egg. The opaque white stuff (two of them) that is close to the yolk and looks almost like jelly is called chalaza and it is a protein that holds the egg yolk in the center of the albumen. You only see chalaza in fresh eggs as it disappears in stale eggs.

it does not have any function
What is a composite function?
This is a combination of two functions, where you apply the first function and get a result and then fill that answer into the second function. OR These are what you get when you take the output of one function and use it to solve the output of the next function.
Does the principle of complementarity of structures and function means that the structure of a part reflects its fuction?
Function reflects structure and structure determines function

What is a chalaza?
Chalazae are the pair of spiral bands holding the yolk of a bird's egg suspended near the center of the egg. Each of the spiral bands is called a chalaza.
What is the name of the thing that connects the whites to the yolk?
chalaza
How is the embryo of the bird kept in its place?
Strong protein strands called chalaza are attached to both sides of the yolk. Chalaza holds the yolk centered within the albumen (egg white).
What is the function of the chalaza of the egg?
The chalaza in an egg is a rope-like, white "thing" that you might find in a scrambled or fried egg. If you look carefully, you can see it in a raw egg. What is does is it stabilizes or suspends the yolk, so that in a fresh egg the yolk floats in the middle of the albumin (egg white). When candling an egg, one thing you look for is that the yolk of an older egg will be near the shell and definitely visible. In a freshly laid egg, the you see a "shadow" of the yolk, and as you twirl the egg, the chalaza keeps the yolk in the center and away from the shell.
What is the white bit of a egg called?
The small white bit next to the yolk of an egg is call chalaza. This is a strand of heavy protein that helps to keep the yolk centered in the albumen (white/clear part of an egg). This chalaza disappears as the egg get older and is more visible when you buy very fresh eggs.
Is it all right to eat the chalaza of the chicken egg?
Yes. You can eat it if you don't mind the texture. I scramble eggs so I don't notice it.
What is the white ropy-like part in the inside of an egg?
Chalaza. It is a protein strand that helps keep the yolk centered in the albumen. It is perfectly edible and often is missing in older eggs. Once the egg is cooked you will not see it.
What will happen if the cords in the egg broke?
What you are referring to is chalaza. Ropey strands of egg white which anchor the yolk in place, in the center of the thick white (albumen). They are neither imperfections, beginning embryos nor are they rooster sperm. If by chance one or both of these cords breaks then the chances of the embryo inside the egg actually forming and surviving to hatch would be in question. The forming chick inside the shell must have room to form and if the chalaza did not hold it up it would drop the embryo to the bottom of the shell and possibly cause deformities.
