Cartilage can break in some instances. There are multiple types of cartilage in the body. The cartilage in the ear is an elastic cartilage, so it is much more flexible and less likely to break.
Cartilage cannot repair itself.
Yes, it can and will repair itself but the repair may not be like the original.
The thyroid cartilage, like other cartilage in the body, has a limited ability to repair itself due to its avascular nature, meaning it lacks a direct blood supply. While minor injuries may heal to some extent, significant damage often does not fully repair, leading to potential long-term issues. In cases of severe injury or degeneration, medical intervention, such as surgery, may be necessary to restore function or appearance.

No, is does not. This fact makes it more easy to damage but it is also quicker to repair itself. More so than bone.
Cartilage is a type of tissue that is avascular and receives its nourishment from the surrounding connective tissue. This lack of blood vessels in cartilage limits its ability to repair itself after injury compared to other tissues in the body.
Yes, but often imperfectly and it takes a great deal of time. Cartilage tends to have a very poor blood supply, so it takes a long time for the cells to gather enough nutrients to build more matrix and repair the damage. If the damage was too severe, the cartilage will not have time to repair the damage before bony changes take over and prevent a return to normal function.
Cartilage. If broken it will not heal by itself.
