Hello, the bone at the root of the nose is hard bone, and the bone at the tip of the nose is nasal cartilage. Hard bone is bone, cartilage is not real bone, but specialized dense connective tissue, and the intercellular substance is hard and elastic. We can see the difference ourselves. We can tell it clearly by touching it and shaking it left and right. The root of the nose is hard and can't be shaken from side to side. The tip of the nose is not so hard, it feels like an auricle, and it can still shake from side to side.
