Two pseudopodia are extended with microtubular action and surround the food particle. Instead of reeling the particle in the amoeba pulls itself up to the particle and then it is ingested through the cellular membrane.
The process is phagocytosis .
when amoeba comes in touch in a food particle it spreads it's cup shaped pseudopodia around the food particle and engulfs it to it's cytoplasm

Endocytosis, particularly, phagocytosis because the amoeba surrounds the food particle and engulfs it. The food particle is then enclosed into a food vacuole inside the cell where it can be accessed when the cell needs food.

Surrounding the food with pseudopod.
The amoeba moves its psuedopodia (false feet) around the food particle. thus a food vacuole is formed.then the amoeba secretes digestive enzymes into the food vacuole and the food particle is digested and assimilated.the waste particle is thrown out by moving the particle towards the surface of the body and it is excreted. :)

Endocytosis
Amoeba ingests food by a process known as phagocytosis. The amoeba modifies its cytoskeleton to 'wrap around' the food particle with its membranes. The membrane then fuses, trapping the food particle in a vacuole inside the cell. The vacuole is then fused with a lysosome and the lysosomal enzymes will break down the food particle.
