We're talking about the small nipple, seen in this illustration, below item #9 and #10?

As mentioned, it can be removed. It's simply pressed into place and can be wriggled out....usually. (More commonly these nipples pop out on their own...spraying the engine bay with coolant!). After cleaning they can be tapped back into place with a smear of JB Weld or similar to help secure them.
On or off the car you can use a small drill to clear the clog....but remove the thermostat so you can collect any debris that falls into the thermostat housing. You don;t want any small chucks of rust floating around in your cooling system.
As you probably realize that nipple should have a hose attached. It's part of the vapor-relief plumbing.
