What is all the red blood clots in War of the Worlds?

In the new movie with Tom Cruise, the aliens take the blood of people then sprays it back out and it turns in to vein like clots. Why are they doing that and what is it for?

I could only guess (it is a movie after all), that perhaps they use the blood as a holding agent and even food for a alien organisim (plant-life perhap?). Its been a long time since I heard the radio play, but if I remember right this was done to "terraform" the Earth and make it more liveable for the alien species, perhaps they emmited something much like earth plants do (taking in Nitrogen, emmiting Oxygen), maybe the aliens need to breathe a diffrent gas. For instance, if they were silicon-based lifeforms instead of carbon-based like us.
