Judging from what you are describing, it is the flower of new seeds coming out. No, if that is what it is, you will not harm the palm by cutting it off. Can you insert a photo? At any rate, I'm pretty sure that is what you are describing and unless you want the seeds to start new trees, feel free to get rid of it.
