A quick definition of blood relative:

A blood relative is someone who is related to you by your family's bloodline. This means that you share a common ancestor with them, like a grandparent or great-grandparent. A relative can also be someone who is related to you through marriage, but not by blood. For example, if your aunt marries someone, their family becomes your relatives by affinity. A cousin is an example of a collateral relative, which means they are not in the direct line of descent. A half-brother or half-sister is a relative of the half-blood, which means you share only one common ancestor.

A more thorough explanation:

A blood relative is a person who is related to another person by blood or ancestry. This means that they share a common ancestor, such as a parent, grandparent, or great-grandparent.

For example, a person's siblings, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins are all considered blood relatives. However, a person's spouse or in-laws are not considered blood relatives because they are related by marriage, not by blood.

Another type of relative is a collateral relative, which is a relative who is not in the direct line of descent. For example, a person's cousin is a collateral relative because they share a common ancestor, but they are not in the direct line of descent.

It is important to know who your blood relatives are for medical reasons, as certain health conditions can be hereditary. Additionally, blood relatives may have legal rights to inherit property or make decisions on behalf of a family member.

Overall, blood relatives are important family members who share a common ancestry and can provide support and connection throughout a person's life.
