The sternum germinativum, also known as the germinal layer of the sternum, plays a crucial role in the development and growth of the sternum and surrounding structures. It is responsible for the production of cartilage and bone cells, facilitating the proper formation and fusion of the sternum during early development. This layer ensures the structural integrity of the rib cage, which is vital for protecting internal organs and supporting respiration. Additionally, any abnormalities in the germinal layer can lead to congenital defects in the sternum, impacting overall thoracic function.

Is your spine superior to your sternum?
superior, in anatomical terms means closer to the top of the body, and inferior means closer to the bottom of the body. eg, your neck is superior to your pelvis. anterior means towards the front of the body, posterior towards the back. eg, your sternum is anterior of your scapular. so, 'is your spine superior to your sternum' is not correct. this actually mixes the terminology of superior/inferior and anterior/posterior. your spine cannot be 'higher' than your sternum, it can however be posterior to your sternum.
