Answer:
Pseudopodia or false feet are projections of the cell membrane that move outward in the direction of movement. Its main functions include locomotion, food ingestion, etc. They usually occur in the unicellular organism, Amoeba to capture external food particles in the external environment.
When the organism detects a food or water particle in the external environment, pseudopodia first occur, forming a pocket-like structure around the pocket. Once they completely surround the particle, the pseudopodia along with the food particle move inwards, where the pseudopodia collapse and a vacuole is formed around the particle.
