Detailed explanation-1: -Flagella have a primary function in cell locomotion. They are found on single cell eukaryotes and on spermatozoa, which each possess a single flagellum 70 m long.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cilia and flagella. Cilia and flagella are motile, hair-like projections of the cell surface. They create currents in the surrounding fluid or movements of the cell to which they are attached, or both. There are two categories of cilia: single non-motile primary cilia and multiple motile cilia.
Detailed explanation-3: -Flagellum is primarily a motility organelle that enables movement and chemotaxis. Bacteria can have one flagellum or several, and they can be either polar (one or several flagella at one spot) or peritrichous (several flagella all over the bacterium).
