What is the column of nerve fibers in your backbone?
The column of nerve fibers in your backbone is called the spinal cord. It is a long, thin, tubular bundle of nervous tissue that extends from the base of the brain down through the spinal canal of the vertebral column. The spinal cord plays a crucial role in transmitting information between the brain and the rest of the body.
What protects your spinal cords?
The spinal cord is protected by the vertebral column or spinal column. The vertebral column is a collection of individual bones called vertebrae that encase and protect the spinal cord. The vertebral column is divided into three parts: seven cervical (neck) vertebrae at the top, twelve thoracic vertebrae in the mid back, and five lumbar vertebrae in the lower back. Below the lumbar vertebrae, but not protecting the spinal cord, are the sacrum and coccyx (tailbone)

Why touching the toes while seated on the floor with outstretched legs produces less stress on the lower spinal column than when touching the toes from a standing position?
Because when standing up and bending over to touch your toes gravity is pushing down directly upon your lower spinal column, and less stress is placed upon your lower spinal column when you are at the lowest possible point on the floor. I hope i helped!
