Is a caldera a weak spot in the crust where magma comes through?

A caldera is a large volcanic crater typically formed by the collapse of land following a volcanic eruption. It is not necessarily a weak spot in the crust where magma comes through, but rather a feature that results from the massive release of pressure during an eruption. Magma may still come through the caldera, but it is not the primary defining characteristic of this geological feature.
