I am not sure about, "food particles" per se, however when a cell surounds large particles it is called phagocytosis
this should not be confused with pinocytosis, which is intended for small molecules
Phagocytosis is the process by which a cell engulfs large particles or whole cells, either as a defense mechanism or as a means to obtain food. A phagocyte is a cell that ingests and destroys foreign matter or microorganisms.
Phagocytosis is the process by which a cell engulfs a large particle by extending pseudopodia around it and bringing it into the cell in a membrane-bound vesicle.
The process by which large particles are taken into a cell is called phagocytosis. It is a type of endocytosis where the cell engulfs solid particles by wrapping extensions of its cell membrane around the particles and forming a vesicle called a phagosome. This process is important for functions such as nutrient intake, protection against pathogens, and disposal of debris.
Phagocytosis is the process where a cell engulfs large food particles by extending its membrane around the particle to form a sac called a phagosome. The phagosome then fuses with lysosomes containing digestive enzymes to break down the food for nutrient absorption in the cell.
Phagocytosis is a type of active transport in which a cell engulfs large particles or microorganisms by surrounding them with its cell membrane and forming a vesicle called a phagosome. This process is commonly used by immune cells to engulf and destroy pathogens or debris in the body.
Well, that's the idea. When cell engulfs materials, it is called endocytosis. When cell drinks materials, it is called pinocytosis. I hope that helped.

Phagocytosis is the process responsible for bringing in large particles such as bacteria or dead cells into the cell. During phagocytosis, the cell engulfs the particle by forming a phagosome, which then fuses with lysosomes to break down the ingested material.

It is similar to diffusion. It is when a cell's membrane engulfs a particle and the remaining part of the membrane turns into a vacuole around the particle. This occurs when the particle is too large to diffuse into the cell on its own.

Phagocytosis is a type of endocytosis. It is also known as cell eating, wherein the cell ingests or engulfs large particles.

This process is called endocytosis. It involves the ingestion of large molecules or particles by the cell through the formation of a vesicle. The vesicle is formed when the cell membrane engulfs the material to be transported, creating a membrane-bound sac within the cell.
Endocytosis:==> Phagocytosis or Pinocytosis. Endocytosis is the name given to the process of cells absorbing molecules. Pinocytosis is intended for small molecules Phagocytosis is for large particles. (larger then ~around 0.75 µm in diameter)
When a cell engulfs large fragments of water, it is called "pinocytosis." This process involves the cell taking up extracellular fluid and any solutes dissolved in it by invaginating its membrane to form small vesicles.
