Lymph is the fluid that circulates throughout the lymphatic system. It is formed when the interstitial fluid is collected through lymph capillaries
Since the lymph is derived from the interstitial fluid, its composition continually changes as the blood and the surrounding cells continually exchange substances with the interstitial fluid. It is generally similar to blood plasma, which is the fluid component of blood. Lymph returns proteins and excess interstitial fluid to the bloodstream. Lymph may pick up bacteria and bring them to lymph nodes, where they are destroyed. Metastaticcancer cells can also be transported via lymph. Lymph also transports fats from the digestive system (beginning in the lacteals) to the blood via chylomicrons.
The word lymph is derived from the name of the ancient Roman deity of fresh water, Lympha.
Lymph has a composition comparable to that of blood plasma, but it may differ slightly. Lymph contains white blood cells. In particular, the lymph that leaves a lymph node is richer in lymphocytes. Likewise, the lymph formed in the human digestive system called chyle is rich in triglycerides (fat), and looks milky white because of its lipid content.

Limbs is the another type of fluid which also helps in transportation this is called length or tissue fluid through the pores present in the walls of capillaries some amount of Plasma proteins and blood calls escape into intercellular space in the tissue to form the tissue fluid or length.
