The special vesicle in cells that digests food particles, waste, and foreign substances is called a lysosome. Lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes that break down macromolecules, old cell parts, and pathogens. They play a crucial role in cellular digestion and waste disposal, maintaining cellular health by recycling materials. Dysfunction of lysosomes can lead to various diseases, known as lysosomal storage disorders.
