Blood cells are round, actually biconcave disc shape because that makes them very efficient for gas exchange because they have a large surface area.
Red blood cells are round in shape so as to allow for swift and efficient movement throughout the bloodstream. Any other shape would be apt to cause clotting.

Most probably because round shape accomodates their fast movement in the blood vessels. If they weren't smooth, they would cause a lot more wear to themselves and veins.

Unlike human red blood cells, amphibian re blood cells contain nuclei. In order to make room for the nucleus, the frog's red blood cell must be round instead of flat like a human's.
