The psuedopod is used to help the amoeba move, and also to eat. It is a part of the amoeba's body that it can stretch out and pull itself with.
An amoeba is a shapeless cell which can extrude a part of itself, which is called a pseudopod (literally, false foot) and then the remainder of the cell can flow into that pseudopod, at which point the amoeba has moved.
An amoeba moves and navigates its environment by extending its pseudopods, which are temporary projections of its cell membrane. The amoeba uses these pseudopods to push itself forward and change direction. It also senses its surroundings through chemical signals and light, helping it to move towards sources of food or away from danger.
An amoeba can move 2.6 billion light years. Hopes that this helps!!!!! =D
Yes, some amoebas have an eyespot, which is a light-sensitive organelle that helps them detect light and move toward it. The eyespot helps the amoeba to orient itself and seek out optimal conditions for survival.
Amoebas move the slowest out of the three organisms (paramecium, amoeba, euglena). They use pseudopods to move and typically glide along surfaces at a slow pace.

An amoeba is a shapeless cell which can extrude a part of itself, which is called a pseudopod (literally, false foot) and then the remainder of the cell can flow into that pseudopod, at which point the amoeba has moved.
Amoeba move through pseudopodia, i.e., due to continuous movements of its ectoplasm and endoplasm.
Amoeba reproduction occurs rapidly. Using the process called binary fission, the amoeba splits itself in half, which then creates two new amoebas.
The amoeba uses a structure called pseudopodia, which are temporary, foot-like extensions of its cytoplasm, to push internal fluid and facilitate movement. By extending and contracting these pseudopodia, the amoeba can propel itself in various directions. This process is driven by the flow of cytoplasm within the cell, allowing it to change shape and explore its environment.
