The growth plate, also known as the epiphyseal plate, is the site for longitudinal growth in a child. It is a cartilage region at the ends of long bones where bone growth occurs, allowing bones to elongate during childhood and adolescence. Once growth is complete, the growth plates close and are replaced by solid bone.
Epiphyseal plate
metaphysis
red bone marrow located in long bones
The epiphysis, commonly known as the growth plate, is the site of long-bone growth in a child or young adult. If a growing person has a fracture at this site, growth of bone length may be affected on that side, creating uneven limb length.

No, they are biodegradable. So far, there has been no "bones" recovered from the Titanic wreck site as all the bones are now dissolved in the sea water or eaten by various sea organisms. The same happens over time in the earth. In some special cases the bones mineralize by replacing their structure with other inorganic materials. these fossilized bones last a long time.
Hematopoiesis occurs in the red bone marrow. This bone marrow is found at the ends of long bones. It is also found in the sternum.
