Why does the trachea have rings of cartilage?

The function of the cartilaginous rings of the trachea in respiratory system is to stabilize the trachea and keep it rigid while allowing the trachea to expand and lengthen when the person breathes.
Explanation:
The cartilage rings are C-shaped because the back of the trachea presses against the esophagus. The cartilage opens at the esophagus and is replaced by connective tissue and muscle. This gives the esophagus space to allow food to be swallowed easily.

Bcoz it is very flexible due to which it can move &expand widely while peristalsis (swallowing food) therefore these rings bound them so that no problem would occur in swallowing food
