Can the blood cell live on its own?

No, blood cells cannot live on their own. They require a constant supply of oxygen and nutrients from the bloodstream in order to survive. Without this, they would quickly die.

Red blood cells, in particular, have a lifespan of about 120 days. After that, they are destroyed by the liver and spleen and their components are recycled.
