Final Answer :
True
Explanation :
An epiphyseal plate, also known as growth plate, is a hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis of a long bone where bone growth occurs during childhood and adolescence. It is considered a temporary joint because it eventually ossifies (turns into bone) once growth is complete, which means it is not a permanent joint like the ones found in the adult skeleton.
