I’m working on a WordPress site and I stumbled upon that certificate. I would like to know what it is for. Is Wp using it in any way? Can I delete it (or move it outside the document root)?
Thanks

ca-bundle.crt File
It is an SSL Certificate file which WordPress uses as default for secure connections (https) when WordPress make request using HTTP API
This file is used in /wp-includes/class-http.php
file. It is a WordPress default file (never remove anything from WP core!) so removing it will cause problem for the class to work properly.
