When maraschino cherries grow on the cherry tree, they have pits. As they are processed into the product that you find in the jar, the pits are removed.
Marasca cherries are a small bitter Italian cherry used to make the liqueur "Maraschino". This liqueur was in turn used to flavor other cherries for decorative effect in cooking and drinks. Today, however, the "maraschino" cherries are produced in a number of locations from local cherries soaked in food coloring and sugar instead of by the original recipe. The cherries themselves are not Marasca cherries but any of a number of light fleshed sweet cherries

can u eat them or not
No, maraschino cherries should not be added to cherry pie. The maraschino cherries would taste very odd because they are dyed and have a different texture than the cherries used in pie filling.
