Select null is used when you want an extra column in your result set but don't want to supply a value for it. It's not really any different from select 1 or select <constant>.
Usually it's used when you union 2 tables and one has more columns than the other:

SELECT col1, col2
FROM table1
UNION
SELECT col1, null
FROM table2

As to why it's in your query, not enough information to tell, we would need to know how the record group is being used.

Well all forms really does is display data based on sql queries and let you modify it.
So like I say it'll give you a blank column. If you want more details you need to tell us how this record group is being used in form because we've got no way of knowing.
