Very simple answer: to make a hole in a cork or plastic stopper; the scope is to insert a tube, thermocouple, thermometer, etc.
Cork borers are made of metal and used in laboratory settings. A cork borer is a tool that allows one to cut a hole in a cork so glass tubing can be inserted. It can also be used on rubber stoppers the same way.
Insects such as the cork oak borer and the Mediterranean oak borer are known to feed on cork oak trees. These insects can damage the tree by burrowing into the bark and disrupting nutrient flow. Additionally, caterpillars of certain moth species may also feed on cork oak leaves.
In order to achieve a hole with the adequate diameter.
A cork borer is used to make a hole through the middle of a cork stopper, usually in order to insert a delivery tube through it. Now that synthetic rubber bungs can be readily bought with the holes already made, and interchangeable ground glass joints are relatively cheaper than they used to be, cork stoppers are used less frequently. If you do need to use the procedure, get someone to show you how to do it safely, particularly the insertion of the glass tube when the hole is made.

A science cork can be a steel or wood which is used to seal foods or liquids and keeps our air that can cause spoilage. Cork can fill the space completely and provide a good seal.
