It keeps changing its shape because amoeba move around with pseudopodia (false feet) for taking food and to adapt to their environment. During cold days, it wraps itself into a ball. They change their shape while engulfing and catching the prey

By extending a portion of their cytoskeleton into a portion of their plasma membrane. This is called a pseudopodia and can be used as an anchor so that the amoeba can pull itself along behind these '' false feet. '
