Freeze plugs are designed to try to save the engine block if your anti freeze isn't strong enough. When you put straight water in your radiator, and the temp gets below freezing, the water freezes, and the freeze plug is supposed to pop out.
If your freeze plug popped out, but had adequate antifreeze, it wasn't installed properly--There are usually 6 to 8 plugs on the block/heads
