I am certain that the answer is that they are intermediate in density between erythrocytes and plasma. This is true of the materials making up the buffy coat in centrifuged blood. The buffy coat is the fraction of anticoagulated blood sample that contain most of the white blood cells and platelets following density gradient centrifugation of the blood.
