Answer:
The disc-shaped central thickening of pit membrane is known as a torus. Its diameter is wider than that of the pit aperture. It is mainly found in gymnosperms. When it is placed at the median position it helps in easy passage of water while it completely restricts the movement of water when placed laterally.

The torus regulates the functions of the bordered pit, and the margo is a cell wall-derived porous membrane that supports the torus. The margo is composed of bundles of microfibrils that radiate from the torus. The margo is flexible and can move towards either side of the pit while under stress.
