Children have more cartilage than adults because cartilage is a flexible connective tissue that allows for growth and development. During childhood, their bones are still maturing, and the presence of cartilage helps in the formation of bone structures and facilitates the growth of long bones. As children age, much of this cartilage is replaced by bone through a process called ossification, resulting in adults having a higher proportion of bone compared to cartilage. This transition is essential for achieving the strength and stability needed in fully developed skeletal systems.
