Amoeboid is an adjective describing cells or organisms that resemble or behave like amoebae, typically characterized by flexible, pseudopod-like extensions. It is used in biology to denote a form or movement similar to amoebas, often in reference to cellular shape, movement, or behavior. The term implies a transitional or protozoan-like morphology rather than a fixed, rigid structure. In context, amoeboid can describe cells that flow, change shape, or crawl via pseudopods.
