A volcanic crater does not have a function, per se. Rather, it is formed as a natural after-effect of volcanic eruptions. When volcanoes explosively erupt, molten rock is thrown clear of the main vent, where it can cool and harden; gradually, this builds the elevation of rock surrounding the vent, leaving a lower pool in the center of the volcano, and developing a crater (or bowl) shape.
