It fills the cavity of a bone (6)

I believe the answer is:

marrow

(Other definitions for marrow that I've seen before include "Soft tissue in bones" , "Stuff found inside bones" , "Fatty stuff in bones, or a vegetable gourd" , "Vegetable - tissue in bone" , "essential part" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
