Here's why:
* Flexibility: The cytoskeleton is made up of protein filaments that can be arranged in different ways, giving the cell flexibility and allowing it to change shape.
* Structure: These filaments provide internal support and framework for the cell, helping to maintain its shape and prevent it from collapsing.
* Cell-to-cell connections: While not the only factor, the cytoskeleton plays a role in cell-to-cell connections through structures like adherens junctions and desmosomes.
