Answer:

Plasma plays an essential role of transporting nutrients and waste.

Explanation:

The largest constituent of the blood that comprises 55 percent of its entire constituents is the plasma. It is a light yellow liquid, which along with water transports enzymes and salts to different parts of the body. Plasma primarily plays an essential role in transporting hormones, nutrients, and proteins to different body parts.

Apart from this, plasma also carries waste materials withdrawn from the cells and discharges it out of the body.
