Answer: Provide support to the body.

Step-by-step explanation:

The skeletal system is a system which is formed by the bones. The bones are important for the structure and function of the body. The bones are connected with the muscles to allow the movement of the body, and they protect the vital organs like heart, lungs, brains, and others. They provide support to the soft tissues, organs, and muscles of the body. They keep the human body upright. The skeletal system provide shape to the body. It provides support by acting as regions of attachment of soft body parts and muscles.
