Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Red blood cells are formed in the red bone marrow of bones. Stem cells in the red bone marrow are called hemocytoblasts. They give rise to all of the formed elements in blood. If a stem cell commits to becoming a cell called a proerythroblast, it will develop into a new red blood cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stem cells are found in the bone marrow, blood and umbilical cord blood. Stem cells develop into blood cells in the bone marrow.
