An amoeba feeds through a process called phagocytosis. Phagocytosis works by a cell engulfing its food source, puncturing the cell wall, and digests it in its food vacuole.

Is an amoeba a consumer decomposer or a producer?

An amoeba is primarily considered a consumer. It feeds on organic material by engulfing food particles, such as bacteria and small protozoa, through a process called phagocytosis. Unlike producers, which create their own energy through photosynthesis, or decomposers, which break down dead organic matter, amoebas actively consume living or once-living organisms for energy.
