A pseudopod is a temporary bulge-like extension of the cell membrane used by some single-celled organisms for movement and capturing food. It is formed by the extension of cytoplasm in the direction of movement or prey. Organisms like amoebas use pseudopods to engulf food particles or to move by extending and retracting these temporary projections.
The cell organelle formed by a pseudopod is called a phagosome. It is a membrane-bound vesicle that results from the engulfment of particles, such as bacteria or food, by the pseudopod during phagocytosis.
To feed, an amoeba will extend a psuedopod around the food to draw it in.
Both the single opening of a hydra and the pseudopod of an amoeba are involved in the process of feeding. The hydra uses its single opening to capture and ingest prey, while the amoeba extends its pseudopod to engulf food particles through phagocytosis.
An amoeba is a single-celled organism that moves by extending pseudopods, which are temporary projections of its cytoplasm. These pseudopods help the amoeba to move, engulf food particles, and respond to its environment. By constantly changing the shape of its body through pseudopods, the amoeba is able to carry out essential functions like feeding and locomotion.

The suffix "-pod" in "pseudopod" means "foot" or "limb". A pseudopod is a temporary arm-like projection of a cell used for movement or capturing prey, as seen in certain single-celled organisms like amoebas.
The cell organelle formed by a pseudopod is called a phagosome. It is a membrane-bound vesicle that results from the engulfment of particles, such as bacteria or food, by the pseudopod during phagocytosis.
Amoebas have pseudopods. The amoeba reached for food with its pseudopod.

It is called the Flagellum :D Flagellum- a long whiplike outgrowth from a cell that acts as an organ.
The term you are referring to is "pseudopod." Pseudopods are temporary projections of the cell membrane used for movement and feeding in some single-celled organisms like amoebas. It translates to "false foot" in Greek.
