Flagella propel protozoa through water. Sperm also have the same way of moving.
Protozoa are capable of locomotion by means of cilia, flagella, or a pseudopodium. While cilia and flagella are hair-like structures used by protozoa for movement, the pseudopodium is a projection or false limb utilized for the same purpose. Protozoa are uni-cellular organisms.

protozoans like amoeba move with the help of finger like projections called pseudopodia.
for movement
The major function of the flagella is to move the cell. It's like a long whip which helps it move around and stuff.
Enables cells to movement.
