It's just a plist file that stores information about the app, like its 
name, version number, compatible files, icon resources, things like 
that. Finder uses plists to determine what documents an app can open and 
what icon to display, among other things. This info used to be stored in 
the app's resource fork back in OS 9, but when resource forks were 
discontinued, plists replaced that.

I'm not sure how iOS uses plists, but it must be different if it doesn't 
hurt to delete them.
