Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fibroblasts are the principal resident cells of connective tissue, responsible for its synthesis and maintenance. ECM is tissue-specific and composed of protein fibers (collagen, reticular, and elastic) and ground substance (amorphous gel-like substance).

Detailed explanation-2: -The wandering cells are regarded as a special type of blood cell. Evidence indicates that the wandering cells of nudibranchs are excretory, taking up effete matter from the haemocoele and discharging it into the lumen of the gut.

Detailed explanation-3: -Specialized cells in connective tissue defend the body from microorganisms that enter the body. Transport of fluid, nutrients, waste, and chemical messengers is ensured by specialized fluid connective tissues, such as blood and lymph.
