Correct Answer: pseudopodia


Solution : The correct answer is pseudopodia .

The amoeba pushes out one or more finger-like projections called " pseudopodia " for movement and the capture of food. These temporary extensions are not true feet but are rather dynamic structures formed by the amoeba's cytoplasmic flow. Pseudopods enable the amoeba to change its shape, and move and engulf prey through a process known as phagocytosis .
