Why do pen lids have a hole in the top?

To keep the pressure equalized. If you have a pen with no hole, and were to take it up in an airplane, or even to the top of a building, the pressure difference could cause the ink to flow out of the pen creating a mess and making writing really messy. There is a hole in the body of the Compressed polystyrene to equalise atmospheric pressure, for the reasons stated above, however the hole in the top of the lid is to prevent children for sucking the lid into their throat, subsequently this provides an air passage in such a case.

What are the different parts of ball point pen?

Ballpoint pens have a hull, usually in two parts so the pen can be taken apart. A plastic trigger at the top part forms the button that you press to lock the pen. The pen itself is usually in one piece, consisting of a plastic tube with ink and a metal tip. The filling rests under the top with a spring, so that when you press on the top, the pen is locked in the down position under strain.The trigger then usually extends through an opening in the side of the plastic, so that if you press this, it releases the spring and the pen shoots back up into the hull.
