what are pseudopods?
flowing cytoplasmic extensions
Pseudopods are temporary cytoplasmic projections or extensions that protrude from the surface of certain cells, such as amoebas, to help them move and capture food. These extensions are also called false feet, as they are not true appendages, but rather temporary formations of the cell’s cytoplasm. The pseudopods can extend and retract as needed by the cell, allowing it to move towards or away from stimuli in its environment. Pseudopods are characteristic of cells that belong to the phylum Amoebozoa, although they may also be present in other organisms such as some white blood cells in animals.
