Protists that move by extending false feet called pseudopodia are primarily members of the group known as amoeboids, with the most well-known example being the genus Amoeba. These organisms use pseudopodia for locomotion and to capture food through a process called phagocytosis. Pseudopodia are flexible extensions of the cell membrane that allow amoeboids to creep along surfaces and engulf prey. Other protists that exhibit similar movement include certain types of slime molds and foraminifera.

How does protist cell move?

Most protists move and generate their movement with cilia, flagella, or pseudopodia (false feet).Protists that are classified as animal-like are called protozoans and share some common traits with animals.All animal-like protists are heterotrophs. Likewise, all animal-like protists are able to move in their environment in order to find their food. Unlike, animals, however, animal-like protists are all unicellular.
