False. You have it backwards.
Bone is the hard structure that give your body form, posture, and strength. They are stiff and cannot bend. They are hard.
Cartilage is the soft, flexible, yet tough tissue found in the tops of your ears, and the tip of your nose.
When you are an infant, many bones are partly cartilage, especially the skull. When you start growing, these bones get bigger and harden into actual bones.

Is Cartilage more brittle than Bone?
Cartilage, as a rule, is the slowest healing tissue in the human body. The reason for this is the virtual absence of blood flow in this tissue. Most of the nutrition for cartilage comes from synovial fluid, the lubricating fluid in most of our joints. There are other types of cartilage in the body such as hyaline cartilage, forming the connection in the front of the rib cage. This type is also considered avascular, meaning without blood supply. Bones on the other hand heal much faster than most tissues because of their rich supply of blood. The blood carries the nessecary building blocks required in the healing process.
