All connective tissue!
Connective tissues have an extracellular matrix that gives them their characteristic properties. Blood is a liquid connective tissue that has a fluid matrix.
Not all tissues have a matrix; however, many do. The extracellular matrix (ECM) is particularly prominent in connective tissues, providing structural support and facilitating communication between cells. Epithelial tissues, on the other hand, typically lack a significant matrix and are primarily composed of tightly packed cells. Muscle and nervous tissues also have varying levels of matrix, but it is less prominent than in connective tissues.
Connective tissue
matrix and cells. not tissues
Connective tissues are characterized by having a great deal of space between cells, secretion of matrix, and originating from mesenchyme. Examples of connective tissues include loose connective tissue, dense connective tissue, cartilage, bone, and blood.
The two fibers found in the matrix of connective tissues are collagen fibers, which provide strength and flexibility, and elastic fibers, which allow tissues to stretch and recoil. These fibers work together to provide structural support and maintain the integrity of the connective tissue.
The connective tissue that has a jelly-like matrix is called "mucous connective tissue." This type of tissue contains fibroblasts and ground substance rich in hyaluronic acid, giving it a gel-like consistency. Mucous connective tissue is found in the umbilical cord of embryos.
Areolar connective tissue does.

matrix
cell type and amount of extracellular matrix
The suffix "-blast" indicates cells that produce the matrix of connective tissue. These cells are responsible for synthesizing and secreting the components that make up the extracellular matrix in connective tissues.
