The ends of our long bones fit into joints. These joints are lined with cartilage (the flexible tissue that makes up your ears and nose), because cartilage is smoother than bone, and allows the joint to move better
But cartilage isn't as strong as bone. By having a larger surface area at the bone end, the stresses on the cartilage are spread out over a greater area. (think of how it would take much less force to break the skin with a pin than with a pencil).
