Well, just think of the helmet you wear when you go biking. A helmet protects your head from getting hurt as bad as it would if you wore no helmet. Also, for the second part, also think of the poles used to keep a tent up and in its shape.

A skull does just that. Your skull is thick, because your brain is one of the important organs in your body. Without your brain, well, you can't move, talk or do about anything. Your skull protects your brain, oh, and it also keeps the fluid in. And your skull also gives you your roundish head shape. also it makes crashing into things less painful.

Your brain is soft, if you had no skull, and you touched your head, it be like touching jelly, you know how a jelly is soft and gooey, right? Well, for the graphics here, your brain is just like that, except more wet.
