Might be worth mentioning that TB for Android already has Orbot built in so Orbot isn't required for it to function.

I feel like that's already pretty heavily implied. If it needed the Orbot app to function then the answer to this question would be totally different, and the TBfA wouldn't be preforming its most important function.
I suppose there's nothing terribly wrong with being too explicit, but I think this is already implicit enough to the point where mentioning that would be redundant and might even confuse people. Especially because the Orbot in TBfA is hidden from the end-user.

I think it is fair to mention that TBA has fagocitated Orbot (without using the word fagocitate!), because we give recognition to the work Orbot people put and we are using.
I don't see that implied from the text. The text feels more like TBA replaced Orbot, but it should feel that TBA benefits from the advances of Orbot because it is incorporated inside.

does fagocitate mean like absorbed?

Yeah, seems to be that way based on my internet searching. Comes out of latin/italian, neat.

Okay, in 87771d8 I tried to incorporate this information clearly into the answer, but I can't help but feeling it still got a bit more convoluted than necessary. Maybe you two have ideas to make it less potentially confusing/more elegant?

I read your last PR and it's good. One small suggestion:

I've fixed that, good catch. |

merged commit 
I've added a new question for this bug (or at least how I interpreted it). I probably could've elaborated a bit more, but I think this should be clear enough while also remaining short and sweet.
