Pits in vessels are typically formed through a process known as pitting corrosion, where localized corrosion occurs due to environmental factors such as moisture, oxygen, and the presence of chlorides. This corrosion creates small, often deep cavities or "pits" in the metal surface. Factors like material defects, stress concentrations, and the presence of aggressive ions can accelerate this process. Over time, these pits can compromise the structural integrity of the vessel, leading to potential leaks or failures.

What is the structure and function of pits in plants?

Pits in plants are small cavities or depressions in the cell walls that allow for the passage of water, nutrients, and signaling molecules between adjacent plant cells. These pits provide a pathway for communication and transport within plant tissues, facilitating functions such as water transport in xylem vessels and cell-to-cell signaling in plant defense responses.
