they are classified in the phylum Sarcodina
Around 1980 taxonomists started to use phylogeny as the main factor in classification. As a result, some Taxa have entered an ambiguous grey zone while taxonomists debate where to place them. Amoebas are among these. They were once part of a phylum known as Sarcodina, but are now given their own phylum Rhizopoda.
Amoeba belong to the phylum Tubulinea.
Sarcodina.
Protozoans have four groups of classification. The four protozoan groups are Phylum Ciliphora, Phylum Mastigophora, Phylum Sarcodina and Multicellular animals.

The amoeba
Amoebas are the animal-like protists in the phylum Sarcodina that use pseudopods for both movement and feeding. These pseudopods are temporary bulges of the cell membrane and cytoplasm used to engulf food and propel the organism forward.
Amoeba belong to the phylum Tubulinea.
