All bones are same type. They are just joined together with ligaments.They only have different names and different shapes.

Different shapes are needed for different functions.

bones are linked together by unmovable joints to support our internal organs and muscles.

Answer 3

For the same reason your car isn't made of just one material.  It's not the best or most efficient design.  The various bones need to handle different kinds and degrees of stresses at various stages of life.  A child's bones need to grow.  A woman's bones need to handle pregnancy.  The brain needs more protection than most other organs.  Ribs need to stretch for breathing.
