Answer:
Blood is also a type of connective tissue but unlike other connective tissues, it does not have fibers and has a fluid matrix.
Connective tissues consist of extracellular matrix with scattered cells. These tissues connect different body systems.
Blood is different from normal connective tissues in the sense that it has matrix that is in fluid form. This fluid form matrix is called Plasma.
The blood plasma has the red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets floating in the extracellular matrix.
Also, blood connects different body systems and transports oxygen and nutrients to different body parts.
Hence, in more ways than one, blood can be called a connective tissue with the exception of the fluid matrix
