spare wheel well hatch cover

I am in awe of the little things I find on my car ['94 LS].
I recharged the battery and checked out by a reputable battery buisness and was pronounded OK for another yr or two. Specific gravity is GOOD and the meter they used for diagnosis registered at 860??

WHile re- installing the "tractor" battery I cleaning out the wheel well and low and behold I find this 12" circular hatch, that opens to the ground.

I'ts batten down with white latex cauking, no screws or bolts!

Why was the car designed with the hatch and
what keeps ground water out of the car, since it is not fastened to the car?
I am just putting some body putty strips three deep on the rim and putting it back in.
Is this all that is needed?

Bye the way, thanks for all the thread on the battery.
