From the docstring:

,----[ C-h v org-export-latex-default-packages-alist RET ]
| Each cell is of the format ( "options" "package" snippet-flag).
| If SNIPPET-FLAG is t, the package also needs to be included when
| compiling LaTeX snippets into images for inclusion into HTML.
`----

If you look at the Customize interface, where you toggled it, the
label is ‘Snippet’.  The ‘INS’ and ‘DEL’ buttons are for manipulating
the list.
