Name the locomotory organs of amoeba.

The locomotory organ of Amoeba is the pseudopodia, which means “false feet.” Pseudopodia are temporary finger-like projections formed by the streaming of cytoplasm. Amoeba moves by extending pseudopodia forward and pulling the rest of the body along.

Functions of Pseudopodia

• Help in movement of amoeba.
• Used to capture food by engulfing it (phagocytosis).
• Also help in changing the shape of the cell.
