Why Do Amoebas Obtain Food. Amoebas need food because they are living organisms that must metabolize nutrients in order to move grow and reproduce. See full answer below.
Inside the food vacuole complex substances are broken down into simpler ones which then diffuse into the cytoplasm. However they must take. Amoeba takes in food using temporary finger-like extensions of the cell surface.

In this process the pseudopodia surround and engulf a bacterium or other food source. Food and water enter into the oral groove. They use the cilia to move the food into the oral groove until it reaches the mouth opening. Thus the amoeba obtains its food.
