    Phagocytosis

    Phagocytosis is the process by which certain cells called phagocytes ingest or engulf solid particles and destroy them. Phagocytosis plays an important role in immune defense, allowing white blood cells to destroy pathogens and cellular debris. It also allows some single-celled organisms called protozoa to ingest food particles.
