Phagocytosis, process by which certain living cells called phagocytes ingest or engulf other cells or particles. The phagocyte may be a free-living one-celled organism, such as an amoeba, or one of the body cells, such as a white blood cell. In some forms of animal life, such as amoebas and sponges, phagocytosis is a means of feeding. In higher animals phagocytosis is chiefly a defensive reaction against infection and invasion of the body by foreign substances (antigens).

Hope this helps you

In cell biology, phagocytosis is the process by which a cell – often a phagocyte or a protist – engulfs a solid particle to form an internal compartment known as a phagosome. It is distinct from other forms of endocytosis, like pinocytosis, that involve the internalization of extracellular liquids.
