The function of Stegosaurus's plates is not known. One theory is that the plates were a sort of armor, and that is why they are often called a Stegosaurus's armor.

Which is stronger chainmail or plate armor?

In terms of protective quality in terms of blunt force and weight, the mail is still widely used, and it is apparent that there are numerous reasons for this. It is adaptable, allowing it to cover areas where a plate would be difficult to protect. The mail is often heavier than an armor plate in terms of material. Because mail and plate armor come in a variety of thicknesses, there's some leeway here. Plate mail armor is frequently backed with chain mail, with the metal plates welded to the chainmail backing.
