Amoeba moves by extending pseudopods, which are temporary projections of the cell membrane and cytoplasm. These pseudopods are formed when the cytoplasm flows in the direction of movement. This structure allows Amoeba to exhibit an adaptable and flexible form of motility.
Amoebas have false feet or pseudopods to help the amoeba move. Amoebas uses their "false feet" to capture food and to find shelter.
Pseudopods serve two important functions-locomotion and food capture, activities that are often interrelated. Amoebas use their pseudopods to ingest food by a method called phagocytosis (Greek: phagein, to eat).The streaming of protoplasm inside the pseudopods moves the amoeba forward. When the organism contacts a food particle, the pseudopods surround the particle. After the food is corralled by the amoeba, an opening in the membrane allows the food particle to pass into the cell. Inside the cell, the food is enclosed within food vacuoles, digested by enzymes, and assimilated by the amoeba. The amoeba expels particles that are not acceptable as food.
Pseudopods(SOO doh pahdz) are temporary bulges of the cell membrane.
no, amoeba use pseudopods to move in any direction

AMOEBAS use pseudopods to get food...
Organisms that have pseudopods are known as amoebas. Pseudopods are temporary "false feet" that form by cytoplasmic streaming to enable movement and engulfment of food. Amoebas use pseudopods for locomotion and capturing prey.
Amoebas have pseudopods. The amoeba reached for food with its pseudopod.

The protist amoeba forms pseudopodia.
Pseudopods act as feet and help in movement.
