The given statement is true.

Amoeba expels the undigested residue of the food outside the cell through the process of exocytosis.

During exocytosis, the food vacuole containing the undigested waste material moves towards the cell membrane. As it reaches the cell membrane, the vacuole fuses with it and releases the waste material outside the cell. This process is aided by pseudopodia, which are temporary extensions of the cell membrane that are used by amoeba for movement and phagocytosis (engulfing food particles). The pseudopodia can also be used to expel undigested waste material outside the cell.

After exocytosis, the cell membrane of amoeba remains intact and can continue to engulf and digest more food particles.
