Ribs are not directly connected to each other to allow for flexibility and expansion during breathing. The rib cage needs to move as the lungs inflate and deflate, which is facilitated by the intercostal muscles and the joints between the ribs and the spine. Additionally, this separation helps to protect vital organs while still allowing for a degree of movement. The cartilaginous connections at the front of the rib cage also provide a degree of elasticity.
