It means "false foot." Some very simple creatures like amoebae extend portions of their bodies to touch things and the pull themselves along. (Imagine someone crawling under a blanket). The part that does the pulling is just like the rest of the body except for what it's currently doing. Scientists would say it's an "Undedicated Structure." So it's a sort of foot, but since it's not just a foot, it's a "false" one.
