Pseudopod vs. Tentacle — What's the Difference?

A temporary projection of the cytoplasm of certain cells, such as phagocytes, or of certain unicellular organisms, especially amoebas, that serves in locomotion and phagocytosis.

In zoology, a tentacle is a flexible, mobile, elongated organ present in some species of animals, most of them invertebrates. In animal anatomy, tentacles usually occur in one or more pairs.

(cytology) A temporary projection of the cytoplasm of certain cells, such as phagocytes, or of certain unicellular organisms, such as amoebas, that serves in locomotion.

An elongated flexible unsegmented extension, as one of those surrounding the mouth of a sea anemone, used for feeling, grasping, or locomotion.

(zoology) A projection acting as a foot in certain insect larvae.

One of these structures in a cephalopod, typically being retractile and having a clublike end usually with suckers or hooks, in contrast to an arm, which is nonretractile and typically has suckers along the underside.

(by extension) An extension or projection from something.

(Botany) One of the sensitive hairs on the leaves of certain insectivorous plants, such as a sundew.

Any protoplasmic filament or irregular process projecting from any unicellular organism, or from any animal or plant call.

A similar part or extension, especially with respect to the ability to extend influence, activity, or control

A rhizopod.

(zoology) An elongated, boneless, flexible organ or limb of some animals, such as the octopus and squid.

Temporary outgrowth used by some microorganisms as an organ of feeding or locomotion

(botany) One of the glandular hairs on the leaves of certain insectivorous plants.

(figurative) An insidious reach or influence.

Something like a zoological limb.

An officer employed to drive out to troops and transmit back requests for support via a special radio link.

To move like a tentacle

A more or less elongated process or organ, simple or branched, proceeding from the head or cephalic region of invertebrate animals, being either an organ of sense, prehension, or motion.

Something that acts like a tentacle in its ability to grasp;

Any of various elongated tactile or prehensile flexible organs that occur on the head or near the mouth in many animals used for feeling or grasping or locomotion
