Top comes out on the roof:
Not sure what happens below. Haven’t gone under the house to inspect. Seems like a vent that travels through the wall space, but unclear why it would do that.
Any ideas what its purpose is?

This could be a few things, but based on the shape, I agree that it’s most likely a chimney. It could also be a vent for something like a bathroom or a stovetop, but it’s most likely a chimney for a fireplace/stove/etc.
(If you have a fireplace, remember to clean your chimney now and then as well.)
I don’t have a fireplace, so that would be a surprise. It seems kinda small as well? And its relatively far from any bathrooms.
If you don’t have a fireplace, my guess is this is the flume of your stove or a furnace exhaust.
To add, it could also be something that’s no longer in use. For example, I have family that removed a fireplace, but left the chimney intact. It made more sense to keep it there, but the fireplace was in a poor location, and they wanted it removed.
In my case, I have a wood-burning stove in the middle of my living room that’s super annoying. I mean in the middle of the living room (where you’d normally put a couch). Whoever designed this is not human. If I could have it removed, I would, but the HOA would most likely not allow it :/
Furnace exhaust would be my next guess though.
Furnace exhaust would be ideal, because I don’t have a furnace anymore and I do need a vent. I guess it depends if its safe to remove, I am a bit concerned it may be asbestos?
