To feed, an amoeba will extend a psuedopod around the food to draw it in.
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.
Amoeba
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.
To eat, the amoeba stretches out the pseudopod, surrounds a piece of food, and pulls it into the rest of the amoeba's body. Amoebas eat algae, bacteria, other protozoans, and tiny particles of dead plant or animal matter. Amoebas reproduce (make more amoebas) by a process called binary fission.

Amoebas have pseudopods. The amoeba reached for food with its pseudopod.
pseudopod
The amoeba extruded a pseudopod.
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.
They are called pseudopodia, (singular is pseudopod).

Pseudopod amoeba refers to amoebas that move using temporary extensions of their cell membrane called pseudopods. Amoeboid motion, on the other hand, is a type of movement exhibited by some cells, like amoebas, where they change shape and squeeze through spaces by extending and retracting their pseudopods. Essentially, pseudopod amoeba describes the type of amoeba, while amoeboid motion describes the specific movement mechanism used by these cells.
