Spongy Bone

Cancellous.
The type of marrow that is made up primarily of fat cells is the yellow bone marrow. The red bone marrow is made up of myeloids.

Hematopoietic tissue is the tissue type associated with red bone marrow, responsible for producing blood cells such as erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells), and platelets.

No, spongy bone is not filled with cartilage. Spongy bone is a type of bone tissue that consists of trabeculae which form a lattice-like structure filled with bone marrow. Cartilage is a different type of connective tissue that is found at the ends of bones, in the joints, and within the nose and ears.
The soft tissue inside of the bone is called "marrow."
Bone marrow is primarily found within cancellous (spongy) bone tissue. This type of bone has a porous structure that allows for the accommodation of bone marrow, which is responsible for producing blood cells. In contrast, compact bone, which is denser and forms the outer layer of bones, does not contain marrow. Both types of bone are essential for overall skeletal function, with cancellous bone playing a critical role in hematopoiesis.
