Cork stopper is often used when a reaction is taking place in the flask or test tube and the by product or result of the reaction is desired to be collected. Its basic function is to plug.

It is widely used in fractional distillation. It restrics the vapour of the container from going out, helps in condensation and also restricts moisture to come in contact with the solution.
