Amoeba follows holozoic mode of nutrition in which the solid food particles are ingested which are then acted upon by enzymes and digested.
Steps of Nutrition in Amoeba:
Amoeba engulfs food by temporary finger-like projections of its body surface called pseudopodia.
When a pseudopodium fuses with the food particle, it forms a food vacuole.
Complex substances are broken down into simple substances inside the food vacuole. These simple substances are then diffused into the cytoplasm.
The remaining unwanted material is taken to the cell surface and is thrown out.

Explanation:
Nutrition in an amoeba occurs through a process called phagocytosis where the entire organism pretty much engulfs the food it plans on eating up. The mode of nutrition in amoeba is known as holozoic nutrition. It involves the ingestion, digestion and egestion of food material.
Amoeba does not have any specialized organ for nutrition. Its entire process is carried through the body surface with the help of pseudopodia.
