Magma Vent
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Magma Vents are Tyranid plants that burrow deep into a planetary crust, down to just shy of the the mantle. These plants then vitrify to form hollow tubes which release the gas trapped in this planetary layer. The gases further the consumption of the planet. The relationship between Magma Vents and Magma Corers is implied, but not substantiated.[1a][1b]
