What are sarcodies?

Answer 1

Sarcodies, more commonly referred to as "sarcodines," are a group of protozoans characterized by their ability to move and capture food using pseudopodia, or false feet. They belong to the phylum Sarcomastigophora and include organisms such as amoebas. Sarcodines can be found in various environments, including freshwater, marine, and soil habitats, and play important roles in nutrient cycling and as part of the food web. Some sarcodines can also be pathogens, causing diseases in humans and other animals.
