Amoeba are classified in the phylum Sarcodina due to their characteristic shape and movement, which involves the formation of temporary projections called pseudopodia. These extensions allow them to move and capture food, distinguishing them from other protozoans. Sarcodina encompasses various protozoans that exhibit similar traits, primarily those that use pseudopodia for locomotion and feeding. Additionally, Amoeba's lack of a fixed shape and their ability to alter their form further solidify their classification within this phylum.
Amoeba belongs to the class Sarcodina within the phylum Amoebozoa.
they are classified in the phylum Sarcodina
Around 1980 taxonomists started to use phylogeny as the main factor in classification. As a result, some Taxa have entered an ambiguous grey zone while taxonomists debate where to place them. Amoebas are among these. They were once part of a phylum known as Sarcodina, but are now given their own phylum Rhizopoda.
Amoeba belong to the phylum Tubulinea.
Protozoans have four groups of classification. The four protozoan groups are Phylum Ciliphora, Phylum Mastigophora, Phylum Sarcodina and Multicellular animals.

Plasmodia are classified as protists, specifically in the phylum Myxomycota. Paramecium is a single-celled protist classified within the phylum Ciliophora. Amoeba is also a single-celled protist, classified within the phylum Lobosa.

Amoebas are the animal-like protists in the phylum Sarcodina that use pseudopods for both movement and feeding. These pseudopods are temporary bulges of the cell membrane and cytoplasm used to engulf food and propel the organism forward.
Protozoans have four groups of classification. The four protozoan groups are Phylum Ciliphora, Phylum Mastigophora, Phylum Sarcodina and Multicellular animals.
