Its for the flexibility of the spine. Without it, we wouldn't be able to move as we do. The same rule applies to the bones of the hands and feet.
No, they are invertebrates.
The main difference between the vertebral columns of humans and pigs is the number of vertebrae. Humans typically have 33 vertebrae, while pigs have 24-25. Additionally, the shape and size of the vertebrae may vary slightly, but the overall structure and function are similar in both species.
The dorsal body cavity contains the cranial cavity (which houses the brain) and the vertebral cavity (which houses the spinal cord). These cavities are protected by the bones of the skull and vertebral column.
Each vertebrae is one bone in an adult dog.
There are 33 individual bones in the backbone, also known as the vertebral column. These are divided into 5 sections: cervical (7 bones), thoracic (12 bones), lumbar (5 bones), sacral (5 fused bones), and coccygeal (4 fused bones).
its not a single bone but a series of bones called the vertebral column

A Single bone would not allow flexibility.
No, the pubic bone is not part of the vertebral column. It is part of the pelvic bones, which are located below the vertebral column and contribute to the structure of the pelvis.

The arrangement of the bones in the vertebral column start with the cervical spine. The cervical spine controls the head and neck. The next section of the vertebral column is the thoracic spine which controls the truck and mid back. The last vertebral column is the lumbar spine which is responsible for the legs.
The occipital bone at the base of the skull articulates with the atlas (C1) of the spine. The other bones that connect to the vertebral column are the 12 pairs of ribs.
The vertebral column or spinal column, is a column of 26 bones in an adult body. 24 separate vertebrae interspaced with cartilage, and then additionally the sacrum and coccyx.
