Answer:

The tooth is embedded in the socket of the 'jaw bone' or mandible, which is a type of alveolar bone.  

Explanation:

It surrounds the whole teeth which are a part of the maxillary bone. This forms the tooth socket.

The ligament is inserted in a cortical plate which is the bone of the 'tooth socket'.
