We are more than just cells, we are also made of protein and water and minerals. The thing that stops us being floppy is our skeleton I think because an octopus doesn’t have a skeleton and it is all wibbly and can fit into tiny spaces and things! 😀
It’s the skeleton that does the trick. It is quite hard and rigid, so stops us going “all wibbly”.
It’s a bit like a house. If the house was made of just curtains and wallpaper, it would be wibbly too. But the house as a solid frame of timber, brick or steel and so do we (only ours is made of bones).
