Porta
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki

A Porta opens for Master Chief.
The Porta[1] is a sphincter-like orifice embedded in the floors and walls of Flood hives that act as the Flood analog to doorways. Portas were sighted in the Flood-infested High Charity[2].
Trivia
- The Porta will only open for the Master Chief and Covenant Elites, not Pure or Infection Form Flood.
- The "Porta" was recently parodied in VG cats #240, "...gross"
- There is also one Porta located on the Halo 3 Multiplayer map, Isolation.
- Portas make a unique sound when they open or close.
- Portas may or may not be the doors on High Charity, covered in Flood spore sacs.
- Portas are constructed of 7 segments, another 7 reference.
- Portas are similar to human heart's valve. Any significance of this is up to an individual's interpretation.
- Because flood forms can't open portas, Many players ran past the waves of flood on higher difficulties, on Cortana.
