Answer Details
The structure used for movement in Amoeba is pseudopodia. Pseudopodia is a temporary extension of the cell membrane and cytoplasm of some cells, including Amoeba. It is used for movement by extending the pseudopodia in a particular direction and then pulling the rest of the cell forward. The pseudopodia can also be used for engulfing food particles. Cilia and flagella are also used for movement in some organisms, but Amoeba moves using pseudopodia. Endoplasm is the inner part of the cytoplasm of the cell.
