Answer 2

AMOEBA

a microscopic, unicellular organism frequent in fresh water, where it is commonly found on the bottom mud or on the lower stems and leaves of aquatic plants. it is characterized by its ability to form extensions of the body called 'pseudo-podia' or false feet.

the amoeba can move in any direction by this means, and is therefore continually changing shape. the amoeboid movement is one of the most primitive types of animal locomotion.
