Endoskeleton

Real World Example

Imagine trying to construct a tent using only the fabric without any poles inside to support its shape. Just like the tent relies on internal poles to maintain its structure and withstand external forces, an endoskeleton provides internal support and shape to an organism, allowing it to stand and move effectively. The tent poles are analogous to an endoskeleton made of bone and/or cartilage, essential for maintaining the form and function of the structure, enabling it to perform its intended purpose.
