Not sure what you mean by 'grooves' but if you're talking about the ring grooves circumferentially around the sides of the piston, they are intended to locate and position the rings.
Rings are the devices that attempt to form a seal around the piston and cylinder to contain the pressure generated by combustion. Since the size of the piston as well as the cylinder changes with changes in temperature the seal must be of a variable circumference. It must also be able to change as it moves up and down the cylinder which will vary in circumference from top to bottom (machining is not perfect and wear changes circumference as well). The ring is elastic and expands/contracts into and out of the ring groove to accommodate these differences in circumference from one part of the cylinder to another.

How do you use a brake rewind tool?
The grooves on the tool will lock into the grooves on the piston of the wheel cylinder and turn to rewind.
What are piston?
pistons are flat on top. then as you go down the sides you will pass several grooves. below that are the piston skirts. they are basically just the sides of the piston

The ridges between the ring grooves are called?
The ridges between the ring grooves of a piston are called lands. They play a crucial role in sealing combustion gases and transferring heat between the piston and cylinder wall.
What is a piston ring compressor?
It is a spring metal sleeve that goes over a piston to compress the rings so that the piston can be install in the motor. It tightens down on the piston, forcing the rings into the grooves in the piston then you tap it into the cylinder.
The areas between piston ring grooves are commonly called?
End gaps, or ring gap
The purpose of the piston rings is to?
On the outside of a piston near its top are two or more grooves that hold steel piston rings. The piston rings are used to form a seal between the piston and the cylinder. The material between the ring grooves is often called the ring lands.
What is the position of piston ring?
Generally in grooves near the top of the piston. The compression rings, near the top and the oil rings at the bottom of the top. The ring gaps are staggered.
How do you push in rear caliper piston on a Ford 500?
Have noticed that Ford still uses the screw style pistons on the rear calipers. To retract the piston use either a caliper/piston tool or a set of needle nose pliers. Turn the piston clockwise to get it back in but take note of the position of the grooves as they normally need to align so that a imaginary straight line through the grooves points to the center of the caliper.
Why do some car parks have grooves on concrete grounds?
Because the grooves increase yhe friction
What are the Difination and terms of car piston and piston parts?
One of the parts in the piston are the piston head,
Is the piston skirt the portion that is cut out on one side or is that the piston crown?
Piston crown is the top, skirt is the side below the ring lands (ring grooves). The as you say, the skirt often has cut aways to clear the counterwieghts on the crankshaft.
