wht is actually meant by phagocytic cells?

Phagocytosis may be defined as the process by which the cell engulfs the particles to form a food vacuole which in turn fuses with lysosomes resulting in the digestion and degradation of the engulfed material.

All the cells which can carry out this process of phagocytosis are called phagocytic cells. Examples: Macrophages and white blood cells are phagocytic cells.
