If it was part of the stylus, you wouldn't be able to play any records at all!
Dandruff is supposedly the most common contaminant, but it could be any form of dust, a speck of food, anything like that. Once in a blue moon, it will be a bit of paper that has actually been pressed into the record itself - the legacy of "regrind" vinyl.
Assuming it's not a pressing flaw, gently prodding it with a wooden toothpick (the round kind with the sharp point) will usually dislodge it.
