Blood is a specialized connective tissue.

Explanation:

Blood is a specialized type of connective tissue in which cells are suspended in the fluid extracellular material called plasma.

Blood acts as a connective tissue in the sense that it connects the different organs by carrying nutrients oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from the cells.
