A pseudopod is a temporary protrusion of cytoplasm that can be used for locomotion. Pseudopodia can be called false feet.

Pseudopods(SOO doh pahdz) are temporary bulges of the cell membrane.
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 are temporary extensions of the cell membrane used for movement in organisms like amoebas. There is nothing fake about pseudopods; they are real structures that help amoebas to crawl, capture food, and engulf particles.
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.
The amoeba has pseudopods.
The protist amoeba forms pseudopodia.

"Pseudopods" are "false feet," if my knowledge of Latin (and Biology) is correct.
pseudopods aka false foots use a food vacuole
An axopodium is another word for an axopod - any of a group of pseudopods which contain complex arrays of microtubules and are enveloped by cytoplasm.
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.
Temporary extensions of a protozoan's cytoplasm are called pseudopods. Pseudopods are used for movement and feeding by extending and retracting to help the protozoan navigate its environment and capture prey.
Arcella move by extending and retracting their pseudopods, which are temporary projections of the cell membrane. By changing the direction and length of their pseudopods, Arcella can move in a rolling or gliding motion.
