Blood rich in oxygen and nutrients is transported from the placenta to the fetus by the umbilical vein.

The unpaired umbilical vein is a vein present during fetal development and it transports the nutrient - and oxygen-rich blood from the placental villi via the umbilical cord to the embryo. The umbilical vein is connected to the two intraembryonic umbilical veins.
