| Definitions |
A feeding behavior during which material is taken into the body of an organism. Note that ingestion is not limited to materials which provide nutrition to an organism; indigestible or otherwise biologically inaccessible particles may also be ingested by organisms. Ingestion is also not limited to organisms with a mouth and digestive tract, as single-celled organisms like amoebae ingest material with their cell membrane. https://github.com/EnvironmentOntology/envo/pull/1153 |
