Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Spongy bones are porous and soft, causing them to be less dense and more flexible. This flexible nature makes it possible for them to compress and withstand the stress from different directions and hence cannot break.
Detailed explanation-2: -The bone marrow makes blood cells and stores fat. Spongy bone (also called cancellous bone) is made up of small, needle-like pieces of bone arranged like a honeycomb. Spongy bone helps to lessen the weight of a bone while still providing strength.
