Amoebas use pseudopods (false feet in Latin) to move around. They strech out one part of themsleves then pull the rest of it toward the part. The streched part looks like a limb, resulting in "false feet."
Locomotion in amoeba is due to the formantion of pseudopodia formation. PSEUDOPODIA: it is the out growth of amoebic cell plasma forming a buldge known as "ZONE OF GELATION". Several theory have been given for the formation of pseudopodia in which sol-gel theory is most acceptable.
amoeba move my changing their body shape they form pseudopod

the defenation of pseudopod is a false or temporary foot
Amoeba moves with the help of pseudopodia(false feet). It uses cytoplasmic streaming
Amoebas move with false feet. They stretch one part of their body and pull the rest of it with them. Sort of like a stretch and pull.
