Amoebas are single-celled organisms belonging to the phylum Amoebozoa. They are known for their characteristic shapelessness, often resembling a blob or a drop of water. Amoebas move and feed by extending their pseudopodia, which are temporary projections of their cytoplasm, allowing them to engulf food particles such as bacteria or algae. They primarily inhabit freshwater environments, although some species can also be found in soil and marine habitats.
