Both can be found on the outside of an Eukaryotic cell

They have similar structure. Flagella are longer.Cilia are shoreter

What is the function of cilia and the flagella and where are they found?

Flagella is the tail-like piece connected to the Cell Body of certain prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and it functions in locomotion. The Cilia is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells that also project from the cell body. In Eukaryotic Cells the Cilia and Flagella make up a group of organelles called the undulipodia and the Cilia and Flagella are structurally similar.
