Morphology

hematic = hemat + ic

The suffix '-ic' clearly forms an adjective, but the root 'hemat-' is a Greek combining form (meaning 'blood') that is not a standalone English word, so the blood-related meaning may not be obvious to an average B1 learner.

Etymology

Hematic comes from the Greek root haima, which means 'blood', and you can see the same root in the common word hemoglobin. So, hematic means 'relating to blood'.
