If you mean cork as in bottle stoppers, the cork seals in the food or liquid and keeps out air which can lead to spoilage. Cork is a good substance for this purpose because it is flexible and when inserted into an opening like the top of a wine bottle, it expands to fill the space completely and provide a good seal. It is also readily renewable since cork trees grow quickly.
