The endocytosis only occurs in animal cells because plant cells don't have cell membranes they have cell walls. And the definition of endocytosis is " a process when a cell membrane surrounds a particle and encloses it in a vesicles to bring it to the cell." so a plant cell can't do that only animal cells can.
