Bones are living tissues. They have cells like osteocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts that are involved in processes such as bone growth, repair, and remodeling. Bones are not made of rock (which is an inorganic non - living material) and while some parts of the bone may have a matrix that seems less "alive", the overall structure is composed of living tissue. Dead tissue would not be able to perform the functions that bones do, such as providing support, protecting organs, and facilitating movement (through muscle attachment and joint formation).
