The question is: Babies are born without which body part? and the answer is : kneecaps
BUT LOOK WHAT I FOUND:
That babies do not have knee caps at birth is not exactly true. All of us are born with knee caps. The knee caps of human beings actually form at the foetal stage, during the fourth month actually. However, at that point and until later, the knee caps are not ossified; they are made of cartilage. The growth centres around the knee caps form only a little prior to birth, and, in some cases, just after birth.
The kneecaps are there, only not ossified, as mentioned earlier. The ossification happens much later, when the child is around three years old, in the case of females, and four to five years in the case of males. etc...
