No, blood does not transport oxygen in cockroaches. Instead, they rely on a system of tracheae, which are air-filled tubes that deliver oxygen directly to tissues. The hemolymph (the insect equivalent of blood) primarily functions in transporting nutrients and waste products, rather than oxygen. Oxygen enters the tracheal system through small openings called spiracles.
