It is a tissue because it is a collection of similar specialized cells that serve particular functions and it is a fluid because along with cellular components, it contains a fluid portion. The cellular components of blood are red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. The fluid portion of blood, its matrix, is commonly known as plasma.
