Detailed explanation-1: -Pseudopodia a temporary protrusion of the surface of an amoeboid cell for movement and feeding.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pseudopods are cell extensions used for movement. The direction and trajectory of cell movement depend on how cells extend pseudopods. Experimental data show that new pseudopods are frequently formed by the splitting of an existing pseudopod, often as a series of left-right extensions.

Detailed explanation-3: -Locomotion. Protozoa move in the environment in three different ways: ameboid movement, flagella, and cilia. The ameboid movement is typical of ameboid protozoa (see below) and some other forms. Movement is achieved by cytoplasmic protrusions known as pseudopodia.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pseudopodia gives amoeboid movement to the cells which is a sliding or crawling-like form of locomotion. During feeding, the extensions either surround the prey and engulf it or trap it on a sticky mesh like structure.

Detailed explanation-5: -Pseudopodia are temporary projections of the cytoplasm of a cell. Pseudopodia are used for locomotion and feeding in amoeba and white blood cells. The activation of the polymerization of the actin filaments forces the membrane to extend and form pseudopodia.
