On mobile, when you select/hover over a block, the game remembers that offset position from the player and keeps selecting the block at that offset once you move. It resets after selecting a new block or using the hotbar. It can be used to select blocks and entities through walls too, letting you ride, trade with and tame mobs through walls.

After a block is selected, if you move around the block at that offset will be selected.
