Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Ciliate is a group of protozoans that can move with the help of cilia only. Paramecium is the key member of this group which shows isochronous or metachronous rhythms of locomotion.
Detailed explanation-2: -Some animal-like protists move by using cilia. Cilia are hair-like projections that move with a wave-like pattern. The cilia move like tiny oars to sweep food toward the organism or to move the organism through water. An example of these is the paramecium.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ciliates are single-celled organisms that move using short hair-like structures called cilia. These structures allow them to crawl, swim and eat.
