ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

AMiBA

Okay kiddo, let's talk about amiba! Amiba is a really small living thing that you can't see with your eyes because it is too tiny. It is a kind of organism that belongs to the group called protozoa.

Amibas are really different from plants and animals because they don't have any body parts like legs, arms, or eyes. Instead, they move around by changing their shape like a balloon. When they want to move, they stretch their body forward and just like that, they move!

Amibas can live in different places like soil, water, or even inside your tummy! But not all amibas are good. Some amibas can make you very sick and cause something called amoebic dysentery, which can make you have bad tummy aches and diarrhea.

So, it's important that we make sure to wash our hands and take good care of ourselves to avoid getting sick from bad amibas. But don't worry, there are also good amibas that help keep our environment clean!
