Detailed explanation-1: -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).
Detailed explanation-2: -A flagellum (plural = flagella) is an appendage larger than a cilium and specialized for cell locomotion. The only flagellated cell in humans is the sperm cell that must propel itself towards female egg cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Flagella propel bacteria through the body The rotation of the filament allows bacteria to move around in their environment. The motor embedded in the bacterial cell membrane rotates-just as a car motor spins beneath the hood of the vehicle-to drive the movement of the filament outside.
