Wikipedia definition
2. PhagocytosisPhagocytosis (from Ancient Greek φαγεῖν, meaning "to devour", κύτος,, meaning "cell", and -osis, meaning "process") is the cellular process of engulfing solid particles by the cell membrane to form an internal phagosome by phagocytes and protists. Phagocytosis is a specific form of endocytosis involving the vesicular internalization of solids such as bacteria, and is, therefore, distinct from other forms of endocytosis such as the vesicular internalization of various liquids.
