because during the growth of human beings the vertebral column outgrows the spinal chord. that's why we don't find the spinal cord starting from lower lumbar region where lumbar puncture is done.
The vertebral canal is the hollow space within the spinal column that houses the spinal cord, while the foramen are openings in the vertebrae through which nerves pass.
The main difference between the vertebral foramen and the intervertebral foramen in the spinal column is that the vertebral foramen is a single opening within each vertebra that allows the spinal cord to pass through, while the intervertebral foramen are openings located between adjacent vertebrae that allow spinal nerves to exit the spinal cord and travel to the rest of the body.
Spinal nerves exit the vertebral column through small openings called intervertebral foramina located between adjacent vertebrae.

Your vertebral column protects the spinal cord. Vertebral column is supported by strong ligaments. Most importantly the muscle tone is there, which act on vertebral column, to protect your spinal cord.
It is the spine , vertebral column or backbone
The spinal cord runs through the center of the vertebral column, protected by the vertebral bones. It is a crucial part of the central nervous system, responsible for transmitting messages between the brain and the rest of the body. Injury to the spinal cord can result in serious neurological deficits.
No. "Backbone" is a common name for the spinal/vertebral column. Intervertebral disks are the the pieces of cartilage found between the individual vertebral bones in the column/backbone.
