Parachutes have a hole in the top to provide a smoother and more controlled ride. Without the hole the only place air has to go is around the edges of the parachute. When the chute tilts a lot of air spill out the high side, which is destabilizing. The hole lets air pass through, so there is always a flow into and through the chute, so it's not trying to spill out the bottom.

How does gravity and air resistance affect parachutes?
Gravity and air resistance are the main forces acting on a parachute. Parachutes are pulled towards the ground by gravity, and if there was no parachute, the guy attached to the chute would turn into tomato paste. So parachutes are designed to create the maximum amount of drag (which is air resistance) so the whatever attached lands undamaged. So basically, parachutes create air resistance to reduce the effects of gravity
