i thought about that question too and i kept looking for an answer but this is all i could find: The function of the floating ribs is not fully understood.

What if any organism is most closely related to the rayfinned fish?

Ray-finned fish (Actinopterygii) are most closely related to other groups within the clade Osteichthyes, which includes lobe-finned fish (Sarcopterygii) such as coelacanths and lungfish. Among living organisms, the closest relatives of ray-finned fish are the lobe-finned fish, as they share a common ancestor that predates the divergence of these groups. Additionally, tetrapods, including amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals, are also closely related due to their descent from lobe-finned fish ancestors.
