  1. skeletal structure

    A skeletal structure refers to the internal framework that supports and maintains the shape of living organisms, typically made up of bones and cartilages. In larger organisms, like mammals, it's the literal skeleton made of bones. In smaller organisms, like insects, it can be an exoskeleton made of a hard shell or in plants, it's a framework made of plant cells and fibers. It supports the body, provides protection to vital organs, assists in movement, and stores essential minerals.
