Amoeba engulfs their food using pseudopodia, which are temporary extensions of the cell membrane that can be used for movement and phagocytosis. 

Pseudopodia are finger-like projections that help amoeba in catching food and also in locomotion. 

When amoeba encounters food particles, it extends their pseudopodia around the food particle and encloses it in a small pocket of the cell membrane, forming a structure called a food vacuole. 

The trapped food forms a food vacuole within which the digestion of food takes place. Therefore, the correct answer is "Pseudopodia."
