What is the name of this architectural element? Does it have a function??
It's rotting and I need to replace it, but if it's just aesthetic I think I'd prefer to replace it with fascia/belly band so as not to unnecessarily create a horizontal surface for moisture to sit on.

It's called a drip edge and it prevents water from running down / wicking into the unfinished concrete / stucco below it.
