Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A suture is an synarthrosis joint, an immoveable joint, between the bones and is how the bones of the cranium are connected. They are fibrous joints. There are four major sutures that connect the bones of the cranium together: the frontal or coronal, the sagittal, the lambdoid, and the squamous.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your cranial bones are held together by unique joints called sutures, which are made of thick connective tissue.

Detailed explanation-3: -Joints made of strong, fibrous tissue (cranial sutures) hold the bones of your baby’s skull together. The sutures meet at the fontanels, the soft spots on your baby’s head. The sutures remain flexible during infancy, allowing the skull to expand as the brain grows. The largest fontanel is at the front (anterior).

Detailed explanation-4: -A syndesmosis is a fibrous joint between two bones. The coronal suture is oblique in direction and extends between the frontal and the parietal bones.

Detailed explanation-5: -What are sutures? Sutures allow the bones to move during the birth process. They act like an expansion joint. This allows the bone to enlarge evenly as the brain grows and the skull expands. The result is a symmetrically shaped head.
