Because it is the framework or base structure upon which all other components of the human body function and interact. Without a skeletal system, since our bodies are made up mostly of water, we would all just wiggle about on the ground like blobs of goo.

In one of the chapters of his book Beyond the Known(2001), Vietnamese martial artist Tri Thong Dang likens the body to a house and its parts. For instance, he says that the internal wooden frame of a house is like the human skeleton. Electrical wires are like the nerves and synapses. The water pipes are like blood vessels. The brick or siding on the outside is like skin. These are just a few examples.

This is actually connected to Asian philosophy. Both Indian and Chinese cultures view the human body as a microcosm of the universe. A good example of this is the Chinese creator god Pangu. According to legend, after separating the dark and light energies of yin and yang, Pangu died. His eyes became the sun and moon, his skin dirt, his breath clouds, his blood rivers and lakes, and his skeleton mountains and rocks.

The skeletal system is strong, just as a house is strong. They also both provide support and protection.
