Why are premature babies more at risk from sudden infant death syndrom than babies born at the correct time?

Need a little bit of scientific explanation
Need a bit of scientific explanation: to do with foetal oxygen, covering of air ways, and the advice that is given to mothers.

Because they are preemie’s their internal systems are still forming. Things like their lungs and digestive system are not ready to be on their own. The mother supplies the nutrition and oxygen. These are a hard thing for the tiny infant to handle. The less problems at birth, the less risk of
SIDS.
