Default Missing panel? or as designed?

Complete novice here...Is this hole near the rear of the oil pan supposed to be open or is there a panel missing? If so will it cause any damage and what is the part called that is missing. Thank you!

Should be a rubber inspection plug there.

Newbie advice for you......provide year, model & transmission when seeking help.

I think GM calls it a Driveline Support Hole Plug
