It also serves as a reservoir of water and salts for surrounding tissues. Almost all cells obtain their nutrients from and release their wastes into areolar connective tissue.

Detailed explanation-3: -The areolar tissue fills the spaces between the different organs and connects the skin to the underlying muscles.
