Does anyone know what this is, that silver cap in the floor it’s right next to my shower and it’s connected to the drain, I’m guessing it’s some sort of clean out, and how do I get it out because I am putting in a new shower and it’s in the way.

If your changing the piping you cant leave it dig it up and cut it close to the ain drain ,you wouldnt want to leave it it could be a possible
leak in the floor later
 
Your picture is too blurry, and not a wide enough view to see what is going on.
Post a few new clearer ones.
Meanwhile, it looks like the top clean-out cap for an old drum trap.

If that will be in the way, then the plumber will have to dig out the old trap and modify it to a P trap.
Drum traps suck anyway, so time to modernize while you can.
