Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fibrous joints are defined as the joints in which the bones are connected by fibrous tissue. They are called fixed or immovable joints as they do not allow any movement between the bones. They do not have a joint cavity, and the fibrous tissue which connects the bones is made up of collage fibres.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fibrous joints are where adjacent bones are strongly united by fibrous connective tissue. The gap filled by connective tissue may be narrow or wide. The three types of fibrous joints are sutures, gomphoses, and syndesmoses. A suture is the narrow fibrous joint that unites most bones of the skull.
