Yes. Apart from the obvious size difference, there are others. Throughout childhood and into adulthood, the body is continually developing. Children have more bones, but as they grow, some these bones join together to become single bones. There are changes in particular during puberty which cause changes to the body. We gain some abilities and lose others as the bodies change. Muscles develop to make us stronger. Skin changes. Lots of things change, so the adult body is definitely different to the body of a child.
