Explanation:
Amoeba obtains its food by the process of endocytosis. It has flexible cell membrane. It engulfs the food particle with the help of pseudopodia and then forms a vacuole around it. When the particle is completely trapped the amoeba secretes digestive enzymes that digests the food.

Answer:
Basically Amoeba gets food by endocytosis.
In case of the solid particles you call it phagocytosis and in case of liquid intake you call pinocytosis.
In case of the solid food, there may be foldings of the plasma membrane of various types:Formation of food cups, circumvellation, circuumfluence etc. It depends whether food particles are active or passive, small or large.
