If you think of a cell within a tissue as a single cell floating in the ocean, you will realize that the ocean water moving around it brings nutrients and oxygen and carries away waste products. The same thing happens in every cell in an organism except they are not floating alone in the ocean, the salt water with nutrients and oxygen (blood) comes to each of them and then carries away waste products.

If this doesn't happen, the cell will die.
