Because it is oxygenated blood
When the blood is oxygenated it means that the iron atom (hemoglobin) of erythrocytes has carried the oxygen. The hemoglobin combined with oxygen gives red color to the blood.
Some animals has another atom in blood which is able to bind to oxygen for example octopus blood contains copper which binds to oxygen and it gives the blood a blue color.

Blood is bright cherry red as it leaves the heart and travels to the body because it is rich in oxygen. This oxygenated blood is carried from the lungs to the heart, and then pumped out to the rest of the body through the arteries. The oxygen in the blood binds to the hemoglobin in the red blood cells, giving it a bright red color.
