Why does lack of vitamin D lead to deficiency of calcium and phosphorus in our body?

Vitamin D is required for the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus. Therefore, low levels of vitamin D in turn decrease calcium and/or phosphate levels in the body. This causes a delay in the formation of bone at sites where bone usually grows (delay in bone mineralization in the growth plate).
