Amoebas move by means of pseudopodia, or the sarcodine protozoa. This characteristic movement involves the extrusion of the cytoplasm for movement or for feeding by engulfing food.

Pseudopods are animals that are like protists. These animals are members of the phylum sarcodina and use structures for movement.
Amoebas move by changing the shape of their body, forming pseudopods (temporary foot-like structures). The word pseudopod means "false foot."
Pseudopod functions as a foot of some kind, which many organisms that possesses it use to move around.
Cilia (hairlike structures) and Flagella(whip-like tails) help organisms move.
Organisms in the genus Acanthamoeba typically move by the use of extensions of their cellular membrane referred to as pseudopods. These pseudopods can also be used to grab food (typically bacteria, which are significantly smaller than amoebas) and pull it through the cellular membrane by a process referred to as phagocytosis.
Animal-like protists that use pseudopods for feeding and movement
Pseudopods are animals that are like protists. These animals are members of the phylum sarcodina and use structures for movement.
Sarcodina is a subphylum of the phylum Sarcomastigophora. It contains the animal-like protists known as amoeba, which use with pseudopods to move.

Difflugia is a genus of Amoebozoa which produce shells from sand granules. They are heterotrophic unicellular organisms which use pseudopods to move around.
pseudopods aka false foots use a food vacuole
Cilia (hairlike structures) and Flagella(whip-like tails) help organisms move.
Hay infusion consists of microorganisms like protozoa. Most of the protozoa are motile in nature since they have locomotive structures like flagella, cilia and pseudopods that's why the organisms that can be found in hay infusion generally moves.
euglenas use flagella (long, whip-like tails), paramecium use cilia (little hairs), and amoebas use pseudopods (they ooze)
