Having the shape or form of an amoeba; irregular and constantly changing in outline.
From 'amoeba' plus the Latin '-form' (shape or form), literally meaning 'amoeba-shaped.' This descriptive term is used across biology to describe anything with an irregular, flowing, asymmetrical appearance.
Amoebiform shapes appear everywhere in nature—ink clouds in water, certain leaf shapes, even how fungi grow through soil—because this flexible, adaptive shape is actually a strategy that works for many different organisms!
