Answer: fibrous joints

Step-by-step explanation:

The cranium is composed of eight bones: the frontal bone, two parietal bones, two temporal bones, the occipital bone, the sphenoid bone, and the ethmoid bone. 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.
