Bones have multiple layers to provide strength, resilience, and flexibility. The outer layer, known as the cortical bone, is dense and protects the inner structures, while the inner layer, called trabecular or cancellous bone, is lighter and helps absorb shock. This layered structure allows bones to withstand various forces and stresses while remaining lightweight. Additionally, these layers facilitate the production of blood cells and the storage of minerals.
