Pseudopodia ("false feet") are temporary cytoplasmic extensions used by amoeboid protozoans for locomotion and capturing food. Their shape varies between groups:
| Feature | Lobopodium | Filopodium |
|---|---|---|
| Shape | Broad, blunt, finger- or lobe-like | Thin, thread-like, often branched |
| Composition | Contains both ectoplasm (outer clear layer) and endoplasm (inner granular layer) | Contains only ectoplasm (no endoplasm core) |

| Example | Amoeba proteus | Euglypha (a testate/shelled amoeba) |
