Animallike protist pseudopods are temporary extensions of the cell membrane that allow the protist to move and capture prey. They are used for both locomotion and feeding, as the protist can extend and retract them to change direction or engulf food particles.
The phylum Arthropoda is not one of the major phyla of animallike protists. Arthropoda belongs to the animal kingdom and includes insects, spiders, and crustaceans, while animallike protists are members of the protist kingdom.
Protists like amoeba use structures called pseudopods for movement. Pseudopods are temporary bulges of the cell membrane that extend and contract, allowing the protist to push itself along in the direction it wants to move.
Animal-like protists
Well, the unique cell parts in a protists are the flagella and the pseudopod. Only protists have flagellas and pseudopods. They are both used to move.
Cilia: Small hair-like structures on the protist that wave back and forth to move it. Flagella: A whip-like structure on the end of a protist that twirls to propel the organism. Pseudopods: Foot-like extentions of cytoplasm that extend outward and pull the organism with it.
Amoebic dysentery
animallike protist, plantlike protist, and fungilike prostist make up the kingdom Protista.
The protist amoeba forms pseudopodia.

Protists move using various methods such as cilia, flagella, or pseudopods. Cilia are tiny hair-like structures that beat rhythmically to propel the protist through water. Flagella are long whip-like structures that rotate to generate movement. Pseudopods are temporary bulges of the cell membrane that extend and contract to pull the protist along a surface.

The amoeba has pseudopods.
An example of an animal-like protist is a protozoan such as Paramecium or Amoeba. These single-celled organisms exhibit animal-like behaviors such as actively seeking and consuming food, moving using cilia or pseudopods, and reproducing through binary fission.
