It's a friction pad from your dishwasher. One goes on each door arm, and they provide friction to stop the door from just flopping down when you open it. I know this because I found one just like you did and after much Googling figured out what it was.
You can order a replacement on Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/8268961-Whirlpool-Dishwasher-Pad-Friction/dp/B00Y1HCO34 (You might as well replace both at the same time, because the other one will wear out too.)
