False- the leukocytes participate in protecting the body from infection; Coagulation is a complex process by which blood forms clots. ex: if you cut or stick yourself and blood begin to flow, immediately the blood forms a kind of thickness (like a film coating on the outside) and the blood begins to slow down, this forms a clot. The platelets immediately forms a plug as you will at the site.

The proteins in the blood is called the coagulation factor or the clotting factors to stop the blood from flowing more as the plug gets strong as it stops the blood.

So in otherwords, no it is not the function of the leukocytes it protects inside from foreign objects

Hope I explained it in a way you catch what its meaning.
