Answer:
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 food particle is completely trapped the amoeba secretes digestive enzymes that digests the food.

The process through which an amoeba acquires its food from the external environment is called endocytosis. Endocytosis is a form of active transport and require the expenditure of energy (ATP). It is a process of cellular ingestion by which the plasma membrane folds inward to bring substances into the cells.
When food particle is completely trapped the amoeba secretes digestive enzymes that digests the food.
