it is also called a pelvis and it is a muscle, bone, and connective tissue structure that provides a foundation for the lower extremities, the legs and also supports a portion of the abdominal and pelvic cavities. The shape of the pelvis (among other adaptions) is also what supports bipedalism in humans.

It also helps to protect the bladder, the gonads (i.e., reproductive organs), and other visceral organs in the lower abdominopelvic region. It also serves at the base for the trunk of the body.
