What kind of connective tissue acts as a sponge soaking up fluids when edema occurs?
The connective tissue that acts as a sponge soaking up fluids when edema occurs is the loose connective tissue, specifically the areolar tissue. This tissue contains a high amount of interstitial fluid which can expand to accommodate excess fluid in cases of edema.
Is collagen and connective tissue the same?
Technically they are the same. Fibrous connective tissue is basically any kind of connective tissue different than adipose and areolar. The fibrous connective tissue has more fibroblast and collagen fiber (a characteristic of dense connective tissue) but no much of elastic fibers (which is the histological difference with cartilage). Of course, we have to exclude blood, lymph and bones from the fibrous tissues because they are specialized connective tissue and have totally different characteristics than dense and loose connective tissue.
What kind of tissues are Cartilage fat tendons ligaments?
Cartilage is a type of connective tissue that is flexible and rubbery, fat tissue stores energy and helps cushion and insulate the body, tendons are tough bands of connective tissue that connect muscle to bone, and ligaments are fibrous bands of connective tissue that connect bone to bone and provide stability to joints.

Yes. An example is in the dermis, which is very vascular. Dense regular connective tissue is not, however (consists of tendons and ligaments). The other kind of CT that is not vascular is cartilage. Source: medical school lectures
