Plants have a special structure, torus-margo (TM) pit, which comprises a thickened torus at the center encircled by a highly porous margo. It is regarded as a key evolutionary structure to enable stable water transport, minimizing the air spread in the vessels. However, its valve-like dynamics to regulate two-phase flows still remains unclear even at a single pit level. Here, we study the air spreading dynamics using a bioinspired model of this soft pit valve. We divide it into the initial onset and the consecutive air-spread
