depending on what it is you are reffering to, I imagine it would be either the pressure safety seam, which causes the lid to split open before the contents reach a pressure great enough to burst the container, or otherwise a quality control design, that allows the lid to remain flexible by providing a joint. as to why it's shaped like a pentagon... it's a simple geometric shape, and maybe someone didn't like the fact they had to add them to their products and thus made a subtle jab at the regulation.

Explain why plastic containers are favoured to storing food?

While it is possible to store ice cream equally well in a metal or plastic container, plastic is better from the user's point of view. Metal transfers cold far better than plastic. Thus, it can become quite uncomfortable trying to hold onto a cold metal container. A cold plastic container is a poor conductor of cold. It does not make your hands hurt to carry it. A metal container has little give at the edges making it hard to scoop out the ice cream at the edges. A plastic container has more give at the edges. It is easier to get the ice cream at the edge of the container. It is easier to reattach a plastic lid on a container than a metal lid.
