Lobopodium and filopodium are two of the four different types of pseaudopodia found in protozoans.
Lobopodium
It is a broad or thick pseudopodium with a blunt rounded tip.
They are extensions of both ectoplasm and endoplasm.
Example: Amoeba, Entamoeba
Filopodium
They are thin, slender, and often branching structures
It is the extension of only ectoplasm.
Example: Eglypha, Chhydophrys
Note: The other two types are
Reticulopodia - More branching and rejoining of fine threads finally forming a dense network. (Example: Globigerim)
Axopodia/Actinopodia - Long thin, but complex pesudopodia that can be extended and retracted. (Example: Acfinophrys)
