Biological Use

Blood is used to transport nutrients through the body of a multicellular organism. In the case of humans, it uses a compound called hemoglobin to transport oxygen to the cells. Because of cellular respiration, every single cell in the human body needs oxygen, so blood must deliver oxygen to every cell in the body. This is most likely true all of the other Covenant races, though their blood may be delivering a different compound to the body.

In the Halo Series

When shot without the protection of a shield, the target will "bleed." In some races, the blood will visibly come out of the target, and leave a stain on the ground. The viscosity and color of the blood varies by race.

Covenant Species

Others

As in reality, humans will bleed red blood when shot. The Flood will always bleed a brown color, and the explosion of a Carrier Form or an Infection Form will leave a brown stain on the ground. Regardless of the host organism, flood combatants will always bleed a brown colored blood.
