Artist is automatic giraffe and it seems like this character is a repeat subject for them, though none of the pictures ive seen are this in-depth.
I'd assume the point is the slime is the actual living creature, and everything else is just an accessory to improve her life, up to and including the head which is just something she controls and uses to interact with people. It's a cool idea.
The idea of slimes needing to absorb bones to actually take shapes and move around comes up in fantasy every so often. The reason we need skeleton are that muscles can only pull - they cannot push - so by bracing against a hard object it allows us to actually move around. You'd expect a slime without something rigid to brace on would be weak at anything except pulling too and so just flop around.
One of the Brandon Sanderson books - Mistborn - had slimes like that. Except they were scavengers who would just grab whatever bones they could and rolled with it, so they just wandered around with seven legs, multiple spines and two heads or whatever.
If I was to guess similar ideas are probably the inspiration to this. She's got bones from somewhere to allow a humanoid form, but then has gone to cyborg implants, extra internals and a head for socializing.
