Endocytosis is found in animals only because as the cell membrane in plants is surrounded by the rigid cell wall .Cell wall causes hinderance in the investigation of Plasma membrane which forms the transport vesicles for the transfer of substances in the cytoplasm of the cell .
But there is an exception,nitrogen fixing bacteria enter the root cells in legumes through endocytosis.

Answer:

Endocytosis is swallowing up of food and other substances from external medium by the plasma membrane. This is possible only when plasma membrane is in direct contact with external medium. It occurs only in animal cells. In plant cells, a cell wall is present on the plasma membrane. Therefore, their plasma membrane cannot perform endocytosis.
