    Explanation:

    Micro Swimmers

    • About: Recently, research has shown that it is possible to use light as a fuel to move microbots in real-body conditions with intelligent drug-delivery that is selectively sensitive to cancer cells. These microbots are referred to as microswimmers.
    • These microbots are made from the two-dimensional compound poly (heptazine imide) carbon nitride (i.e. PHI carbon nitride).
    • Significance: Microswimmers could allow doctors to deliver drugs to targeted regions inside the human body.
    • The microswimmers could also help to introduce specific substances in lakes or in the ocean.

    Hence both statements are correct.

    Micro Swimmers are not necessarily 'bots' but are also naturally found (Natural Micro-swimmers) such as bacteria, sperm etc.
