I think the idea is that they have a metal exoskeleton with organic/organic-esque ‘organs’ beneath. Also, they have muscles, but they aren’t organic like ours.
I would go look at what @Scorpion_Strike has drawn; here’s a link:
Some artwork, a lot of theorizing, and a big essay… basically, this is my distilled thoughts on how a Toa (or more likely a Matoran, but I used my Toa Lis as a model) would be built. Enjoy.

1 – The Frame

One starts with the frame: the bare skeleton. Toa and Matoran bones are inorganic, made of metal. Compared to a human skeleton, several major differences are apparent: first, Toa lack a ribcage or similar structure, featuring only a sternum with hole in the middle for the fitting of the heartlight. The second is the structure of the spine; a spine is the core of a Toa or Matoran’s body, composed of ten tubular sections (vertebrae) connected by ball joints. Each vertebra is fitted with a large metal ring; these rings will form the outer frame…
