  2. Amoeba is a single-celled creature with the capacity to alter form.
  3. They are freshwater creatures found in rotting plants at the bottom of ponds and streams.
  4. Amoeba does not have cell walls, allowing them to travel freely.
  5. They have specialized structures called pseudopodia, which are cytoplasmic bulges that give amoeba its uneven form.
  6. Pseudopodia, often known as fake feet, are tubular appendages with rounded ends that aid in locomotion.
  7. The amoeba lacks a mouth and anus.
