Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The colorless fluid present in the lymphatic system is called the lymph(interstitial fluid or tissue fluid). It is responsible for the immune responses of the body. It helps in the transport of nutrients, hormones, etc. The direction of flow of lymph is unidirectional, that is, toward the heart.
