[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The action of phagocytes is considered a nonspecific response because it is not selective or targeted towards a specific type of pathogen. Phagocytes recognize and engulf a wide range of pathogens, regardless of their specific characteristics such as antigens or chemical signals. This broad recognition ability allows phagocytes to provide a general defense against a variety of pathogens, making their response nonspecific.
