Any of various one-celled aquatic or parasitic protozoans of the genus Amoeba or related genera, having no definite form and consisting of a mass of protoplasm containing one or more nuclei surrounded by a flexible outer membrane. It moves by means of pseudopods.
Are 'pseudopods' the same as wheels?

As Jambutty doesn't want to discuss the relative pros and cons of our manifestos I might as well join in the thread wander.
I think 'pseudo' means something like fake or pretence and a 'pod' is what peas come in so perhaps you find most amoebas in the vegetable patch.
