Can someone explain the valley pan?

So what it the purpose of it? I see it seals coolant in the block but what is the point of the bowl in it with the plastic cover instead of just a plate?

And am I correct in that there should not be any coolant in the bowl under the plastic cover? I just removed mine and there was coolant in it, how does it get there?
