A pseudopod is a temporary cytoplasmic extension used for locomotion and feeding in certain single-celled organisms, such as amoebas. It is present in the cell membrane of these organisms and allows them to move and capture food by extending and retracting the pseudopod.
The function of a pseudopod is to serve as a temporary extension of the cell for movement and capturing food in some unicellular organisms like amoebas. It is present in the cytoplasm of these organisms and can be extended or retracted in response to stimuli.
