Lava collects inside a Magma Chamber. "When an erupting volcano empties a shallow-level magma chamber, the edifice of the volcano may collapse into the voided reservoir, thus forming a steep, bowl-shaped depression called a caldera" (Quoted from How Volcanoes Work at http:/wwwzperiodzgeologyzperiodzsdsuzperiodzedu/how_volcanoes_work/Calderaszperiodzhtml)
Do you mean the hole it comes out of the ground through? That is a volcano. More likely, you mean the hole made when the lava starts to cool and the liquid part inside can suddenly run out. That is a lava tube.
The Volcano has a huge structure below it. The molten rock deep within it is called Magma. A subsidiary volcano may form from the main body, this is called a Parasitic cone. Some times some volcanic materials may seep out near the volcano, this opening is called Vent. The molten rock erupting from the Volcano is called Lava. The mouth of the volcano is called Crater. The highest point of a volcanic mountain is called Summit while the underground passage of magma is called Conduit. The Channel through which lava is ejected out is called the Throat. Ash or fragments of rocks and lava are what is blasted out forming Ash clouds due to the explosion
why is the creater and the magma and the ventard the most important part of a volcano?
Being a less dense liquid, it rises toward the surface, seeking the path of least resistance. The volcano is simply a structure created by the rising magma and the surface features of its lava.

it is part of a volcano

vent
it is the upperpart of the volcanic chimney during an eruption it is the upperpart of the volcanic chimney during an eruption
From Scientific American:"When a part of the earth's upper mantle or lower crust melts, magma forms. A volcano is essentially an opening or a vent through which this magma and the dissolved gases it contains are discharged. Although there are several factors triggering a volcanic eruption, three predominate:the buoyancy of the magma,the pressure from the exsolved gases in the magma andthe injection of a new batch of magma into an already filled magma chamber."You can read more about the process, below.
This is known as a volcanic vent.
A crater is not a separate material or part of a volcano. It is a depression or hollow at the summit of a volcano that forms when the volcano erupts and releases magma, gases, and other materials. The crater is a result of the collapse or expulsion of material during the eruption.
