The purpose of a wine stopper is to cork the remaining wine in a bottle before putting it on a rake or into the refrigerator since using the original cork is sometimes difficult to put back into the bottle.

If you mean cork as in bottle stoppers, the cork seals in the food or liquid and keeps out air which can lead to spoilage. Cork is a good substance for this purpose because it is flexible and when inserted into an opening like the top of a wine bottle, it expands to fill the space completely and provide a good seal. It is also readily renewable since cork trees grow quickly.
