If you are referring to plugs in the engine block, sometimes called freeze plugs, they are used to remove sand from the casting when the engine block is cast. They are not freeze plugs and serve no purpose after manufacture.

plugnever heard of one maybe you mean freeze plug it pops out when it freezes so the block don't crack.

A core plug (freeze plug) is used to seal the holes around the block that were required to remove the casting sand when the block was made. The idea that the plugs will prevent a cracked block if the coolant freezes does not work.
